A simple and convenient one-pot synthesis of fatty acid esters from hindered alcohols using N,N-dimethylchloro-sulfitemethaniminium chloride as dehydrating agent

N,N-Dimethylchlorosulfitemethaniminium chloride (SOCl2-DMF) has been found to be an efficient reagent for one-pot synthesis of esters from equimolar amounts of fatty acids and hindered alcohols under mild conditions.
