Esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols under microwave irradiation in the presence of zinc triflatet

The esterification of aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids with various alcohols (1°, 2°, 3°, benzylic) was studied under microwave irradiation in the presence of zinc triflate as catalyst; the reaction times were short and the yield of reactions was good to excellent.

Catalytic esterification of alcohols, carboxylic acids and transesterification reactions with cerium(IV) triflate

Esterification reactions of alcohols with acetic, chloroacetic, trifluoroacetic, propionic, stearic, and benzoic acids were catalyzed with Ce(OTf)4 in a solvent or under solvent-free conditions with high yields. The formylation and acetylation of primary and secondary alcohols were also easily achieved in ethyl formate and ethyl acetate. A high retention of the configuration was observed in the acetylation and formylation of (-)-menthol.
