Sterically Hindered Carboxylic Acid Esters

Methods have been developed for preparation of esters formed by sterically hindered benzoic acids and various alcohols, which were difficult to obtain previously. The methods are based on the reaction of carbenium ions, generated from primary aliphatic N-nitroamines by the action of nitrous acid or Lewis acids, with carboxylic acid at the sterically accessible oxygen atom of the carboxy group. Reactions of nitrobenzoic acids and benzenepolycarboxylic acids with 2,2,2-trinitroethyl hydrogen sulfate provide an effective method for preparation of corresponding trinitroethyl esters.
