Abstract

Esters are important products/intermediates in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries where they are used extensively for the production of fragrances, polymers, polyesters, plasticizers, fatty acids, and paints, which are considered as high production-volume (HPV) chemicals. 1 The coupling of carboxylic acids with alcohols to produce esters is a fundamental synthetic process. 2 Numerous methods have been reported for the synthesis of esters. 3, 4 and 5 ...
