An eco-friendly and readily accessible 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinium triflate was found as highly-selective and self-separated catalyst for esterification under solvent-free condition. The X-ray crystallography revealed that it formed a ‘hydrophobic wall’ which could effectively eliminate the generated water from the reactive sites. Moreover, it could precipitate from the reaction system with excellent recovery ratio (>99%) and be reused for ten times without any significant loss of activity.

A novel carbon-based solid acid was conveniently prepared by heating a mixture of d-glucose, p-toluenesulfonic acid and diphenylammonium tosylate. Its structure was measured by XRD, FT-IR, XPS, 13C MAS NMR and EA to illustrate that the carbon material has been functionalized with NH2+ and SO3H groups and has a strong "hydrophobic effect". It can be used to catalyze the esterification reaction of carboxylic acids with equimolar amounts of sterically demanding and acid-sensitive alcohols with high reactivity (yield up to 90%) and selectivity (up to 95%) in heptane at 80 °C. It could be easily recovered and reused more than ten times without loss of activity.
