The first cobalt-catalyzed deaminative alkoxycarbonylation reaction was described for the conversion of readily available primary alkyl amines to synthetically versatile esters with moderate to high yields. This transformation shows good functional group compatibility and can serve as a powerful tool for the modification of alkyl amine-containing complex natural products and drug molecules.
Triphenylphosphine dibromide: a simple one-pot esterification reagent

We report a one-pot, expedient protocol for the conversion of carboxylic acids to their esters using excess triphenylphosphine dibromide, base, and the alcohol. The reaction gave the esterified product in moderate-to-high yields (30-95%). For chiral acids, the reaction proceeded with little or no racemization. Use of a chiral alcohol in this transformation gave the ester with retention of configuration of the stereogenic center. Information is presented indicating that esterification proceeds through the intermediate generation of an acyloxyalkoxyphosphorane and where steric interactions play an important role in the energetics of the reaction.
