Acylation is the conversion of compounds that contain active hydrogens (e.g., -OH, -SH and -NH) into esters, thioesters and amides, respectively, through the action of a carboxylic acid or a carboxylic acid derivative.
Advantageous over the anhydrides for the perparation of perfluoroacyl derivatives; the reactions are smooth, quantitative and produce no acid byproducts that must be removed from the system before infection.
