The Steglich esterification is a widely employed method for the formation of esters under mild conditions. A number of issues regarding the sustainability of this transformation have been identified, chiefly the use of hazardous carbodiimide coupling reagents in conjunction with solvents with considerable issues such as dichloromethane (DCM) and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). To overcome these issues, we have developed a solvent-reagent selection guide for the formation of esters via Steglich-type reactions with the aim of providing safer, more sustainable conditions. Optimum reaction conditions have been identified after high-throughput screening of solvent-reagent combinations, namely the use of Mukaiyama's reagent (Muk) in conjunction with solvent dimethyl carbonate (DMC). The new reaction conditions were also exemplified through the synthesis of a small selection of building-block like molecules and includes the formation of t-butyl esters.

A rhodium-catalyzed carbonylative transformation of alkyl halides under low pressure of CO has been developed. This robust catalyst system allows using phenols as the carbonylative coupling partner and, meanwhile, exhibits high functional group tolerance and good chemoselectivity. Substrates even with a large steric hindrance group or multiple reaction sites can be selectively converted into the desired products in good to excellent yields. A gram-scale experiment was performed and delivered an almost quantitative amount of the product. Control experiments were performed as well, and a possible reaction mechanism is proposed.
