Efficient O-Acylation of Alcohols and Phenol Using Cp2TiCl as a Reaction Promoter

A method has been developed for the conversion of primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols, and phenol, into the corresponding esters at room temperature. The method uses a titanium(III) species generated from a substoichiometric amount of titanocene dichloride together with manganese(0) as a reductant, as well as methylene diiodide. It involves a transesterification from an ethyl ester, or a reaction with an acyl chloride. A radical mechanism is proposed for these transformations.

Synthesis of Fatty Acid Ester by Corynebacterium sp. S-401

Resting cells and acetone-dried cells of Corynebacterium sp.S-401 catalyzed the fatty acid ester synthesis of various alcohols and fatty acids.These reactions were carried out in phosphate buffer and/or organic solvents.In some cases synthetic reactions of esters in nonpolar solvents, such as n-hexane and benzene, gave better results compared with those obtained in phosphate buffer.
