Transesterification of amino acid ester derivatives was developed using a tetranuclear zinc cluster, Zn4(OCOCF3)6O, as the catalyst. Because the reaction conditions were very mild, a variety of N-protective groups and functional groups on side chains were tolerated. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart. New York.

(Chemical Equation Presented) A new catalytic transesterification promoted by a tetranuclear zinc cluster was developed. The mild reaction conditions enabled the reactions of various functionalized substrates to proceed in good to high yield. A large-scale reaction under solvent-free conditions proceeded with a low E-factor value (0.66), indicating the high environmental and economical advantage of the present catalysis.
