Mild esterification and transesterification of carboxylic acids catalyzed by tetracyanoethylene and dicyanoketene dimethyl acetal

A π-acid tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) and its derivative dicyanoketene dimethyl acetal (DCKDMA) were found to catalyze esterification of lauric acid with various types of alcohols. This method was successfully applied to methyl esterification of a variety of carboxylic acids including aromatic, α,β-unsaturated, α-hydroxy, and N-Cbz and N-Boc-protected α-amino acids without racemization at the range from room temperature to 60 °C. TCNE was also found to operate as a catalyst in transeslerification reaction of methyl laurate.

Efficient flow fischer esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols using sulfonic acid-functionalized silica as supported catalyst

Flow Fischer esterification of carboxylic acids using hydroxy-substituted sulfonic acid-functionalized silica (HOSAS) packed into a stainless steel column reactor was investigated. HO-SAS well catalyzed flow esterification of long chain carboxylic acids with methanol within 3min of residence time at 110°C, and the methyl esters were quantitatively obtained. The flow esterification protocol was applied to the synthesis of a variety of esters (19 examples) and scalable synthesis was also successful.

Identification of esters as novel aggregation pheromone components produced by the male powder-post beetle, Lyctus africanus lesne (Coleoptera: Lyctinae)

Lyctus africanus is a cosmopolitan powder-post beetle that is considered one of the major pests threatening timber and timber products. Because infestations of this beetle are inconspicuous, damage is difficult to detect and identification is often delayed. We identified the chemical compounds involved in the aggregation behavior of L. africanus using preparations of crude hexanic extracts from male and female beetles (ME and FE, respectively). Both male and female beetles showed significant preferences for ME, which was found to contain three esters. FE was ignored by both the sexes. Further bioassay confirmed the role of esters in the aggregation behavior of L. africanus. Three esters were identified as 2-propyl dodecanoate, 3-pentyl dodecanoate, and 3-pentyl tetradecanoate. Further behavioral bioassays revealed 3-pentyl dodecanoate to play the main role in the aggregation behavior of female L. africanus beetles. However, significantly more beetles aggregated on a paper disk treated with a blend of the three esters than on a paper disk treated with a single ester. This is the first report on pheromone identification in L. africanus; in addition, the study for the first time presents 3-pentyl dodecanoate as an insect pheromone.
