Esterification or Thioesterification of Carboxylic Acids with Alcohols or Thiols Using Amphipathic Monolith-SO3H Resin

We have developed a method for the esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols using amphipathic, monolithic-resin bearing sulfonic acid moieties as cation exchange functions (monolith-SO3H). Monolith-SO3H efficiently catalyzed the esterification of aromatic and aliphatic carboxylic acids with various primary and secondary alcohols (1.55.0 equiv) in toluene at 6080 °C without the need to remove water generated during the reaction. The amphipathic property of monolith-SO3H facilitates dehydration due to its capacity for water absorption. This reaction was also applicable to thioesterification, wherein the corresponding thioesters were obtained in excellent yield using only 2.0 equiv of thiol in toluene, although heating at 120 °C was required. Moreover, monolith-SO3H was separable from the reaction mixtures by simple filtration and reused for at least five runs without decreasing the catalytic activity.

Catalytic Deprotection of Protected Alcohols in Water Using Low-Loading and Alkylated Polystyrene-Supported Sulfonic Acid

Catalytic deprotection of various protected alcohols was efficiently conducted using a hydrophobic low-loading and alkylated polystyrene-supported sulfonic acid (LL-ALPS-SO3H) in water as the sole solvent. Transprotection of an alcohol from a silyl ether to the corresponding benzylic ether or ester also proceeded smoothly in water.
