Methods of direct introduction of the acyloxy group in place of hydrogen attached to carbon are described. This review covers reactions involving organic peroxides, with and without catalysis by transition metal ions. Acyloxylations, using peroxides, of hydrocarbons, ethers, esters, aldehydes, ketones, amides, thioethers, phenols, and some other compounds are included. 1.
