Reaction Conditions:

with silver(I) acetate in acetonitrile at 50; for 4 h;Inert atmosphere;Darkness;

Steps:

General procedure for acetoxylation of alkyl halides with AgOAc.

General procedure: To a suspension of AgOAc (0.25 mmol) in MeCN or DMF (2 mL) was added the alkylhalide (0.25 mmol) dissolved in 1 mL of the corresponding solvent. The reaction mixture was stirred at the temperature indicated on table 1 until starting material was consumed. After that, a saturated solution of NH₄Cl (20 mL) was added and the crude mixture was extracted three times with EtOAc (3 x 15 mL). When necessary, the product was purifiedby column chromatography (hexane/EtOAc).
