Trichloroacetimidates are useful reagents for the synthesis of esters under mild conditions that do not require an exogenous promoter. These conditions avoid the undesired decomposition of substrates with sensitive functional groups that are often observed with the use of strong Lewis or Br?nsted acids. With heating, these reactions have been extended to benzyl esters without electron-donating groups. These inexpensive and convenient methods should find application in the formation of esters in complex substrates.

Esterification of N-protected α-amino acids was achieved via isopropenyl chlorocarbonate (IPCC) activation.In situ alcoholysis of the unstable mixed anhydride intermediate was catalised by 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP).Competing isopropenyl ester formation was negligible when using methylene chloride as the solvent.A variety of esters from primary and secondary alcohols were obtained with good yields (60 to 90 percent), and even the more hindered tertiobutyl alcohol gave acceptable yields under more drastic conditions.The improvement in depsipeptide synthetic methodology is illustrated by preparation of the antibiotic valinomycin, using IPCC for ester bond formation, and BOP reagent for peptide coupling and the last-step cyclisation.
