Fluorous analogues of DMAP (F-DMAP): Reusable organocatalysts for acylation reaction

A short and facile preparation of analogues of DMAP (F-DMAPs) labelled with fluorous chains is reported. These catalysts efficiently promote the acylation of alcohols with anhydrides (Ac2O, (i-PrCO)2O) and can be partially recovered and reused. The effectiveness of F-DMAP is similar to that of DMAP.
