GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT
In the present study, we have developed an efficient N-acetylation method of anilines under green and eco-friendly conditions, where Baker’s Yeast (BY) was used as biocatalyst. The results of this study clearly demonstrate towards the N-acetylation of only anilines to form acetanilides (3a-i) with acetic anhydride in good to excellent yield. Interestingly, acetylation of phenol/thiophenol, aliphatic amines/heterocyclic amines and amino acids failed under the same conditions. This N-acetylation reaction with substrate-selective follows simple procedure and requires simple work up. Thus, we can conclude that the present method is a simple, efficient, substrate selective and eco-friendly.
