A Straightforward Conversion of Activated Amides and Haloalkanes into Esters under Transition-Metal-Free Cs 2 CO 3 /DMAP Conditions

The esterification of activated amides, N -acylsaccharins, under transition-metal-free conditions with good functional group tolerance has been developed, resulting in C-N cleavage leading to efficient synthesis of a variety of esters in moderate to good yields. This work demonstrates that esterification may proceed by using simple N -acylsaccharins, haloalkanes, and Cs 2 CO 3 as oxygen source.

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.

Efficient liquid phase acylation of alcohols over basic ETS-10 molecular sieves

Acylation of alcohols with acetic acid can be carried out efficiently in the liquid phase over microporous titanosilicate ETS-10-type catalysts. The reaction was studied over ETS-10 exchanged with, Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Ba and H ions. Activity for acylation of primary alcohols depends on the exchanged alkali ion and increases in the order LiNaKBa～H～Rb～Cs-ETS-10. These molecular sieves are also suitable for the acylation of secondary alcohols and esterification with long chain carboxylic acids.
