Abstract
Nickel zirconium phosphate nanoparticles have been used as an efficient catalyst for the acetylation of a wide range of alcohols and phenols with acetic anhydride in good to excellent yields under solvent‐free conditions. The steric and electronic properties of the different substrates had a significant influence on the reaction conditions required to achieve the acetylation. The catalyst used in the current study was characterized by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, N2 adsorption–desorption, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. This nanocatalyst could also be recovered and reused at least six times without any discernible decrease in its catalytic activity.
