Sodium cyanide-promoted copper-catalysed aerobic oxidative synthesis of esters from aldehydes

A simple and efficient copper-catalysed procedure for oxidative esterification of aldehydes with alcohols and phenols mediated by sodium cyanide, using air as a clean oxidant, is described. A variety of aromatic aldehydes and structurally different alcohols and phenols reacted efficiently, and the product esters were obtained in good to excellent yields under normal atmospheric and solvent-free conditions.

PPh3/Selectfluor-Mediated Transformation of Carboxylic Acids into Acid Anhydrides and Acyl Fluorides and Its Application in Amide and Ester Synthesis

By taking the advantage of PPh3/Selectfluor system, carboxylic acids are efficiently converted into the pivotal intermediates acyloxyphosphonium ions that can selectively react with a second carboxylic acid or fluoride to in situ yield the corresponding acid anhydrides or acyl fluorides. The developed protocol features commercially availabile reagents, no involvement of base, room temperature conditions, and simple experimental procedure. Additionally, various amides or esters are readily achieved, respectively, with the addition of amines or alcohols.

Transition metal-free oxidative esterification of benzylic alcohols in aqueous medium

Oxidative esterification of benzylic alcohols with a catalytic amount of HBr-H2O2 in aqueous medium under mild conditions is reported with a wide range of substrate scope for both benzylic and aliphatic alcohols. The conditions are also suitable for selective mono-esterification of ethylene glycol and glycerol. With catalytic amounts of HBr (20 mol%) and H2O2, the generation of reactive intermediate species BrOH has been ascertained by UV-visible spectra.

Esterification of free fatty acids (Biodiesel) using nano sulfated-titania as catalyst in solvent-free conditions

Nano sulfated titania was tested as catalyst for esterification of free fatty acids, specially methanolic and ethanolic esterification of stearic acid (biodiesels). Factorial design evidenced a positive effect of reaction temperature, amount of catalyst, and solvents on ester conversion. This nano-sized sulfated titania has been prepared by a sol-gel hydrothermal process. This prepared sulfated titania showed high catalytic activity in direct esterification of fatty acids as well as benzoic acids with various alcohols and phenols under solvent-free conditions. This method is of great value because of its environmentally benign character, easy handling, high yields, convenient operation, and green. FT-IR studies are shown that the catalyst can be reused for acylation without loss of catalytic activity.

CeO2-catalysed one-pot selective synthesis of esters from nitriles and alcohols

Thirteen kinds of metal oxides were tested for one-pot selective synthesis of esters from nitriles and alcohols. Ceria (CeO2) showed more than two orders of magnitude higher activity than the other oxides. CeO2 acted as a reusable and effective catalyst for the ester synthesis from various nitriles and alcohols under neutral and solvent-free conditions at 160 °C. This method provides a rare example for the synthesis of heteroaromatic esters, which have been difficult to synthesize by conventional catalytic esterification methods. Valuable esters such as picolinic acid alkyl esters and niacin benzyl esters were synthesized, demonstrating a practical aspect of the present method. Kinetic studies suggested the following reaction mechanism: (1) H2O and ROH dissociate on CeO2, (2) nucleophilic attack of hydroxyl species (OHδ-) to the adsorbed nitrile on CeO2, leading to the formation of the primary amide, (3) nucleophilic attack of alkoxide species (ORδ-) to the amide as the rate-limiting step.

Covalently bound benzyl ligand promotes selective palladium-catalyzed oxidative esterification of aldehydes with alcohols

It's a benzyl kind of magic: In the title reaction proceeding with benzyl chloride as the oxidant, the benzyl group serves as a carbon ligand, thus having an 3-coordination effect on palladium (see scheme). A variety of aldehydes and alcohols were selectively converted into the corresponding esters in good to excellent yields. Copyright

Esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols under microwave irradiation in the presence of zinc triflatet

The esterification of aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids with various alcohols (1°, 2°, 3°, benzylic) was studied under microwave irradiation in the presence of zinc triflate as catalyst; the reaction times were short and the yield of reactions was good to excellent.
