Abstract
The Lewis basic ionic liquid 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-en-8-ium acetate was employed for the acetylation of various phenols, alcohols, and amines in good-to-excellent yields at 50 °C under solvent-free conditions in a short time. Compared with existing methods based on conventional catalysts and toxic solvents, the reported method is simple, mild and environmentally viable. Furthermore, the ionic liquid was conveniently separated from the products and easily recycled to catalyze other acetylation reactions with excellent yields.
