An efficient method for the synthesis of chloroesters by the reaction of ethers with acyl chlorides catalyzed by nano-ZnO under solvent-free condition at room temperature was described. The method is compatible with a range of ethers including tricyclic ethers, tetracyclic ethers, pentacyclic ethers and hexacyclic ethers and have afforded the products with moderate to good yields. The ZnO could be reused up to three times and the product yield after three cycles is 87%.

A method involving iron catalyzed acylative cleavage of cyclic and acyclic ethers with acyl/aroyl chlorides has been studied to produce chloroesters and esters respectively. Examination of the scope revealed that less electron rich alkyl group in unsymmetric, acyclic ether was acylated while the chloride derived from the counterpart moiety was volatile and difficult to isolate. In contrast, α-branched cyclic ethers were converted to the corresponding primary ester and secondary chloride. Steric hindrance of ether also plays an important role in acylative C-O bond cleavage. The mechanism of ether cleavage is proposed to involve a single electron initiated SN1 dissociative pathway.
