Enzymatic esterification in aqueous miniemulsions

Monoesters of various linear carboxylic acids (C7-C12) with ω-phenyl-labeled primary alcohols (C1-C5) were synthesized in aqueous miniemulsions with various lipases as biocatalysts. The reactants were dispersed in an aqueous solution of a nonionic surfact

Highly efficient esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols by montmorillonite enwrapped titanium as a heterogeneous acid catalyst

Montmorillonite-enwrapped titanium catalyst was found to efficiently promote the esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols. In comparison to other catalysts reported to date, this heterogeneous catalyst offers a remarkably simple workup procedure, and is reusable without any appreciable loss in its activity and selectivity.

Dehydration reactions in water. Bronsted acid-surfactant-combined catalyst for ester, ether, thioether, and dithioacetal formation in water

Dehydration reactions in water have been realized by a surfactant-type catalyst, dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA). These reactions include dehydrative esterification, etherification, thioetherification, and dithioacetalization. In these reactions, DBSA and substrates form emulsion droplets whose interior is hydrophobic enough to exclude water molecules generated during the reactions. Detailed studies on the esterification revealed that the yields of esters were affected by temperature, amounts of DBSA used, and the substrates. Esters were obtained in high yields for highly hydrophobic substrates. On the basis of the difference in hydrophobicity of the substrates, unique selective esterification and etherification in water were attained. Furthermore, chemospecific, three-component reactions under DBSA-catalyzed conditions were also found to proceed smoothly. This work not only may lead to environmentally benign systems but also will provide a new aspect of organic chemistry in water.

Dehydrative Esterification of Carboxylic Acids with Alcohols Catalyzed by Polymer-Supported Sulfonic Acids in Water

Dehydrative esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols in water was efficiently catalyzed by hydrophobic polystyrene-supported sulfonic acids as recoverable and reusable catalysts. In these reactions, esters were obtained in high yields without using any dehydrating agents or apparatus. The sulfonic acid contents of the catalysts and the presence of long alkyl chains on the benzene rings of polystyrene significantly affected the catalytic activity.

FACILE METHOD FOR THE ACYLATION OF ALCOHOLS AND AMIDES BY THE USE OF 1,1'-DIMETHYLSTANNOCENE AND ACYL CHLORIDES

Acylation of alcohols and amides was effected under mild conditions by the use of 1,1'-dimethylstannocene and acyl chlorides, giving the corresponding esters and imides in good to excellent yields.
