What is it about?
A synthetic polymer is used for the acetylation of a variety of functional groups in including alcohols, phenols, thiols and amines under solvent-free and mild conditions. The heterogeneous catalyst was recycled several times without a significant loss of catalytic efficiency.

Why is it important?
The efficient and practical protection and deprotection of functional groups are crucial in the full synthesis of organic transformations.
Perspectives
I hope this work encourages chemists and researchers to find the potential and promising activity of this heterogeneous synthetic polymer as a catalyst in other organic reactions.
