  ABSTRACT: Solvent free, highly efficient method has been developed using ecofriendly, heterogeneous reusable cobalt chloride catalyst at ambient reaction conditions for the O-acylation of various alcohols and phenols with acetyl chloride in excellent yield in a short reaction time. The catalyst is recycled several times without loss of catalytic activity.
