Zirconium based ion exchangers as catalysts in esterification reactions of benzoic acid
Singh, Charanjit,Mittal, Susheel K.,Kaur, Navneet
, p. 3035 - 3038 (2015)
Zirconium based double salts were used as catalysts in esterification reactions of benzoic acid with some primary and secondary alcohols. Ester products were characterized with 1H NMR and FT-IR techniques. Product yields from different set of combinations of benzoic acid and alcohols were monitored using gas chromatography. Double salt based ion exchangers selectively catalyzed esterification reactions based on steric considerations. Electronic factor did not seem to play any role in efficiency of the inorganic ion exchangers as heterogeneous catalysts.

The direct esterification of alcohols with non-noble metal-based catalytic systems faces great challenges. Here, we report a new chrome-based catalyst stabilized by a single pentaerythritol decorated Anderson-type polyoxometalate, [N(C4H9)4]3[CrMo6O18(OH)3C{(OCH2)3CH2OH}], which can realize the efficient transformation from alcohols to esters by H2O2oxidation in good yields and high selectivity without extra organic ligands. A variety of alcohols with different functionalities including some natural products and pharmaceutical intermediates are tolerated in this system. The chrome-based catalyst can be recycled several times and still keep the original configuration and catalytic activity. We also propose a reasonable catalytic mechanism and prove the potential for industrial applications.

N-Aroylbenzotriazoles have been shown to be efficient reagents for esterification in the absence of organic solvent. Grinding of N-aroylbenzoytiazoles with twofold excess of alcohols for a couple of hours at room temperature gave corresponding esters in high percentage of yields.
Metal nitrate-catalyzed one-pot oxidative esterification of benzaldehyde with hydrogen peroxide in alcoholic solutions at room temperature

The activity of metal nitrate catalysts was investigated in the oxidative esterification reactions of benzaldehyde with hydrogen peroxide. Several types of metal nitrates (alkaline, alkaline earth, and transition metals) were evaluated as catalysts. Among the assessed salts, Fe(NO3)3 was the most efficient catalyst toward the formation of the target product (i.e., benzoic alkyl ester). In methyl alcohol, benzaldehyde was selectively oxidized to benzoic acid and then esterified to methyl benzoate. The efficiency of the catalyst was correlated with its higher Lewis acidity character, which was established through the pH measurements of methanolic solutions of the soluble metal nitrate salts. The influence of main variables of the reaction, such as catalyst load, temperature, and reactant stoichiometry, was investigated. The size of the carbon chain and steric hindrance played an essential role in the reaction selectivity. While methyl and ethyl alcohols selectively provided ester as the main product (ca. 70-75%) and acetal as the subproduct, the other alcohols gave ester, hemiacetal, and benzoic acid, which was formed in the least amount. The use of an inexpensive catalyst, a green oxidant, mild conditions, and short reaction times were the positive aspects of this one-pot process. The high TON (ca. 900) is evidence of the high catalytic activity of Fe(NO3)3. It is noteworthy that this methodology does not rely upon ligands and other additives.

An electrolytic method for the direct oxidative coupling of aldehydes with alcohols to produce esters is described. Our method involves anodic oxidation in presence of TBAF as supporting electrolyte in an undivided electrochemical cell equipped with graphite electrodes. This method successfully couples a wide range of alcohols to benzaldehydes with yields ranging from 70 to 90%. The protocol is easy to perform at a constant voltage conditions and offers a sustainable alternative over conventional methods.

The oxidative esterification of various aldehydes with alcohols could be achieved by a heterogeneous iron(iii) catalyst supported on a ring-like POM inorganic ligand under mild conditions, affording the corresponding esters, including several drug molecules and natural products, in high yields. ESI-MS and control experiments demonstrated that POM-FeV(O) was the active catalytic species and the plausible mechanism was presented. More importantly, the 6th run of the iron catalyst recycles shows only a slight decrease in the yield.
Synthesis, characterization and catalytic performances of benzimidazolin-2-iminato actinide (IV) complexes in the Tishchenko reactions for symmetrical and unsymmetrical esters
Liu, Heng,Khononov, Maxim,Fridman, Natalia,Tamm, Matthias,Eisen, Moris S.
, p. 123 - 137 (2017/10/25)
A new family of benzimdazolin-2-iminato actinide?(IV) complexes [(Bim7-MeDipp/MeN)An(N(SiMe3)2)3] (An = U (3), Th (4)) and [(Bim4-MeDipp/MeN)An(N(SiMe3)2)3] (An = U (5), Th (6)) were synthesized and their solid state structures were established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The catalytic performances of complexes 3–6 towards the homo- and cross-coupling of aldehydes (Tishchenko reaction) were studied and the thorium complexes 4 and 6 displayed moderate to high activities for the production of the corresponding symmetric and unsymmetrical esters. Coupling of aldehyde and alcohols, known as the tandem proton-transfer esterification, and the intermolecular coupling reaction between aldehyde and trifluoromethylketones were also investigated by these thorium complexes, indicating a complementary method to obtain unsymmetrical esters selectively. Plausible mechanisms for these reactions are proposed based on stoichiometric studies.

A highly efficient way for the direct (trans)esterification of acyl acids (esters) and alcohols in a strict 1:1 ratio using a zirconocene complex (1, 1 mol%), a strong Lewis acid of good water tolerance, as a catalyst under solvent-free conditions has been developed. A wide range of acid and alcohol (esters) substrates undergo (trans)esterification to produce carboxylic ester motifs in moderate to good or excellent yields with good functional tolerance, such as that towards C-Br as well as CC and CC bonds. And complex 1 can be recycled six times without showing a significant decline in catalytic efficiency. It was demonstrated that cyclandelate, which is used to treat high blood pressure as well as heart and blood-vessel diseases, can be directly synthesized on a gram scale with 81% yield (6.70 g) using complex 1.

, p. 7301 - 7307 (2017/11/29)
A highly efficient palladium-catalyzed approach for the direct oxidative esterification of benzylic alcohols with methanol and long-chain aliphatic alcohols under mild conditions has been achieved. This practical catalyst system exhibits a broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance. Catalytic amount of Bi(OTf)3 is used as co-catalyst to improve the activity and selectivity of the reactions. A variety of esters are obtained in yields of 43–96%.
