Potassium Fluoride Assisted Selective Acetylation of Alcohols with Acetic Acid

Potassium fluoride promotes the acetylation of primary and secondary alcohols with acetic acid in excellent yield. Phenols are not affected under this reaction conditions. The groups like double bond, chloro, methoxy, benzyloxy, thiol, and nitro remain unaffected.
