13. With 1 equivalent of carboxylic acid and 1 equivalent of trifluoroacetic anhydride the reaction is considerably slow and the conversion is also not complete even after 12 h. However, use of 2 equivalents of carboxylic acid and 2.5 equivalents of TFAA accelerated the reaction to a great extent producing only the monoacylated product. But, interestingly, use of 4 equivalents of carboxylic acid and 8 equivalents of TFAA leads to diacylation quantitatively (2 examples) although the condition is yet to be generalised.
