However, this method is appHed only when esterification cannot be effected by the usual acid—alcohol reaction because of the higher cost of the anhydrides. The production of cellulose acetate (see Fibers, cellulose esters), phenyl acetate (used in acetaminophen production), and aspirin (acetylsahcyhc acid) (see Salicylic acid) are examples of the large-scale use of acetic anhydride. The speed of acylation is greatiy increased by the use of catalysts (68) such as sulfuric acid, perchloric acid, trifluoroacetic acid, phosphoms pentoxide, 2inc chloride, ferric chloride, sodium acetate, and tertiary amines, eg, 4-dimethylaminopyridine. 

Lack of selectivity in the reaction of the /3-D-glucoside derivative with one molar equivalent of benzylthiocarbonyl chloride has also been noted 40% of the 2,3-diester and 40% of the starting material were isolated.40 Similarly, unimolar benzoylation of phenyl 4,6-0-benzylidene-/3-D-glucopyranoside gave only 9% of the 3-ester, together with 47% of the 2,3-diester.41 Acylation of benzyl 4,6-0-benzylidene-/8-D-glucopyranoside with acetic anhydride-pyridine-pyridine hydrochloride yielded,42 in contrast to the reaction with the... 

The acetylation of carbazole by acetic anhydride in the presence of boron trifluoride produces the 9-acetyl derivative. Further acetylation requires more vigorous conditions, using aluminum trichloride as a catalyst, and yields 2,9-diacetylcarbazole, which, upon base-catalyzed hydrolysis, produces 2-acetylcarbazole (80T3017). Acetylation of 1-phenyl-isoindole under mild conditions in the presence of pyridine yields l-acetyl-3-phenylisoin-dole, whereas the presence of an ester group at the 1-position deactivates the ring sufficiently to prevent acylation (81AHC(29)34l). 

Benzoylation of benzoylmethylene triphenylarsorane (20) with benzoyl bromide gave a kinetically controlled acylated product, which on treatment with sodium acetate in chloroform afforded thermodynamically controlled dibenzoylmethylene triphenylarsorane (21) (56). Acylation with carbonic acid anhydride (32, 56), phenylisocyanate (32), or chloroformic ester (32) gave in no case O-acylated product. Similarly, reaction with acetic anhydride afforded l,3-dioxo-l-phenyl-butylidene-(2)-triphenylar-sorane (56). 

Azaindoles are readily acylated on the pyrrole nitrogen by warming on a water bath with acid anhydrides or with acid chlorides in the presence of carbonate or pyridine. Good yields were obtained by this procedure for the following compounds l-acetyl-7-azaindole, 1-benzoyl- and l-benzenesulfonyl-7-azaindole, l-benzoyl-2-methyl-7-azaindole, 1-ethoxycarbonyl- and l-chloroacetyl-7-azaindole, l-acetyl-3-cyano-7-azaindole, 1-benzoyl-4-azindole, and 1-acetyl- and l-benzoyl-2,5-dimethyl-4-azaindole. The only reported failure was with 5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-azaindole, which failed to react with acetic anhydride or benzoyl chloride. 2-Methyl-7-azaindole-3-acetic acid was acylated by treatment of its ierGbutyl ester with sodium hydride in dimethylformamide, followed by p-chlorobenzoyl chloride. ... 

To synthesize a diacetate DHCD-DA according to step (1), the diol was dissolved in pyridine, cooled at - 10°C, and mixed with CH COCl. Hereby, we followed the procedure described in detail by Ballard et al. The reaction did not yield the expected ester, as was proved by a structural analysis using C-NMR. We found that the use of acetyl chloride resulted in the formation of phenyl acetate. In Ballard s description of the preparation procedure, the acylation of DHCD was accomplished with the help of acetic anhydride. We also found that the use of this reagent resulted in the formation of cyclohexa-1,3-dieny1-5,6-diacetate.
