Question

Which is better acylating agent acid anhydride or acid chloride?

Answer 1

Answer:

Acetyl chloride and acetic anhydride are both more reactive than acetic acid. The reactions give almost quantitative yield at low temperature and do not need a strong acid catalyst. High yields and low temperatures can be important considerations if the alcohol is expensive or temperature-sensitive.
