METHOD OF CONVERTING ALCOHOL TO HALIDE

The present invention relates to a method of converting an alcohol into a corresponding halide. This method comprises reacting the alcohol with an optionally substituted aromatic carboxylic acid halide in presence of an N-substituted formamide to replace a hydroxyl group of the alcohol by a halogen atom. The present invention also relates to a method of converting an alcohol into a corresponding substitution product. The second method comprises: (a) performing the method of the invention of converting an alcohol into the corresponding halide; and (b) reacting the corresponding halide with a nucleophile to convert the halide into the nucleophilic substitution product.

In situ generated "lanthanum(iii) nitrate alkoxide" as a highly active and nearly neutral transesterification catalyst

In situ generated lanthanum(iii) nitrate alkoxide is a highly active and nearly neutral transesterification catalyst, which can promote non-epimerized transesterification of α-substituted chiral carboxylic esters under reflux conditions.
