GENERAL BASE CATALYSES BY α-CYCLODEXTRIN IN THE HYDROLYSES OF ALKYL BENZOATES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1980.1251

The hydrolyses of seven alkyl benzoates are catalyzed by α-cyclodextrin.These results indicate that the general base catalysis by α-cyclodextrin, previously found for the first time in the hydrolysis of 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl 4-nitrobenzoate, is applicable to other alkyl esters.
