Transition-Metal-Free Poly(thiazolium) Iodide/1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene/Phenazine-Catalyzed Esterification of Aldehydes with Alcohols

Poly(3,4-dimethyl-5-vinylthiazolium) iodide was used as a polymer precatalyst in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) and phenazine for the oxidative esterification of aldehydes with alcohols. Selective functionalization of OH groups was achieved in the presence of NH2 groups. The poly(thiazolium) iodide/DBU/phenazine system exhibited excellent catalytic activity and could be reused five times without loss of activity.

An Efficient Method for the Preparation of Carboxylic Esters via Mixed Anhydrides by the Promotion of a Catalytic Amount of Lewis Acid

Various carboxylic esters are prepared in excellent yields by the reaction of nearly equimolar amounts of silyl derivatives of carboxylic acids and alcohols with p-trifluoromethylbenzoic anhydride in the presence of a catalytic amount of Lewis acid.
