Abstract
In alcohols and esters, a neighbouring dialkylamino group can enhance the reactivity towards acylation and deacylation, respectively, that is, such amino alcohols can act as transacylation catalysts like DMAP. This effect is dependent on the number of (carbon) spacer atoms, flexibility of the molecule and the presence and position of further heteroatoms. Based on this effect, the site selective acylation and deacylation of desmycosin, a macrocycle antibiotic possessing an amino sugar moiety, is described.

The effects of three different variables (initiator concentration, polarity of the solvent and reaction temperature) on the rate of dispersion polymerization of styrene in alcohols have been investigated. It was found that the rate of polymerization increases with the initiator (AIBN) concentration
