Bis azide-triphenylphosphine as a reagent for esterification at room temperature

Modified Staudinger reaction is a well-established reaction for the amide synthesis from organic azides and carboxylic acids in the presence of phosphorous reagents. In contrary to this, it is notable that bis azide in the presence of triethylphosphite or trimethylphosphite does not afford the expected bis amides but affords the ethyl or methyl esters of the carboxylic acids respectively. This serendipitous observation when further investigated results in the discovery of bis azide-triphenylphosphine as an efficient reagent for esterification at room temperature.

A fast and simple method for the acylation of alcohols with acid chlorides promoted by metallic samarium

Acylation of primary, secondary, allyl and benzyl alcohols with acid chlorides promoted by samarium metal under neutral condition gave carboxylic acid esters in good to excellent yields. Acylation of a tertiary alcohol did not occur under the same reaction conditions.
