N-Aroylbenzotriazoles as Efficient Reagents for o-Aroylation in Absence of Organic Solvent

N-Aroylbenzotriazoles have been shown to be efficient reagents for esterification in the absence of organic solvent. Grinding of N-aroylbenzoytiazoles with twofold excess of alcohols for a couple of hours at room temperature gave corresponding esters in high percentage of yields.

Catalytic conversion of ketones to esters: Via C(O)-C bond cleavage under transition-metal free conditions

The catalytic conversion of ketones to esters via C(O)-C bond cleavage under transition-metal free conditions is reported. This catalytic process proceeds under solvent-free conditions and offers an easy operational procedure, broad substrate scope with excellent selectivity, and reaction scalability. This journal is

Base-Promoted Amidation and Esterification of Imidazolium Salts via Acyl C-C bond Cleavage: Access to Aromatic Amides and Esters

Imidazolium salts have been effectively employed as suitable acyl transfer agents in amidation and esterification in organic synthesis. The weak acyl C(O)-C imidazolium bond was exploited to generate acyl electrophiles, which further react with amines and alcohols to afford amides and esters. The broad substrate scope of anilines and benzylic amines and base-promoted conditions are the benefits of this route. Interestingly, phenol, benzylic alcohols, and a biologically active alcohol can also be subjected to esterification under the optimized conditions.
