A practical and efficient base-catalyzed esterification has been developed for the facile synthesis of a broad range of esters from simple alcohols with unactivated tert-butyl esters. This protocol could be conducted at mild conditions, providing esters in high to excellent yields with good functional tolerance. Mechanistic studies provided evidence of an exchange of the tert-butyl alkoxide metal with the alcohol, producing a new alkoxide to participate in the transesterification reaction.

The reaction of Grignard reagents with alkyl imidazolecarboxylates, which were prepared from alcohols with carbonyl diimidazole, gave the corresponding esters in good to excellent yields. This method conveniently provides esters from alkyl halides and alcohols by C1-carbon chain extension.
