By this method, diols and polyols are regioselectively acetylated in high yields under mild conditions using catalytic amounts of acetate. In comparison to other methods involving reagents such as organotin, organoboron, organosilicon, organobase, and metal salts, this method is more environmentally friendly, convenient, and efficient and is also associated with higher regioselectivity. We have performed
我们提出了在羟基的酰化中H键活化的原理,其中通过在羟基和阴离子之间形成氢键来活化酰化。在这一原理的指导下,我们证明了一种选择性糖化酰化糖的方法。通过这种方法,在温和的条件下,使用催化量的乙酸盐,可以高收率将二醇和多元醇区域选择性地乙酰化。与其他涉及试剂(例如有机锡,有机硼,有机硅,有机碱和金属盐)的方法相比,该方法对环境更友好,更方便,更高效,并且还具有更高的区域选择性。我们已经进行了彻底的量子化学研究,以破译该机理,这表明乙酸酯首先与二醇形成双H键络合物,这使得随后可以在温和的条件下通过乙酸酐进行单酰化。区域选择性似乎源于二醇和多元醇的固有结构以及它们与配位乙酸酯催化剂的特定相互作用。
