title = "Practical and efficient acylation and tosylation of sterically hindered alcohols catalyzed with 1-methylimidazole",
abstract = "Acylation of sterically hindered alcohols is frequently encountered in synthetic chemistry. An efficient and mild procedure for tosylation and esterification of sterically hindered hydroxyl groups with p-TsCl, Ac2O and Bz2O in the presence of 1-methylimidazole is described. It was observed that auxiliary base, triethylamine, accelerates the acylation reaction.",
