Abstract

Efficient acetylation of 1Â°, 2Â° and 3Â°, benzylic alcohols and phenols under solvent free conditions at room temperature in presence of less toxic, easily available and in-expensive catalyst ZnCl2, using acetic anhydride or acetyl chloride as an acetylating agent. On comparative study of these two acetylating agents, the acetyl chloride seemed to be better acetylating agent.
