Abstract

Esterifications and transesterifications are very important reactions in organic synthesis as well as in academic laboratories as in industry, for instance for the preparation of polyesters from alcohols and acids or esters. These reactions can be made spontaneous by using Dean–Stark apparatus or high temperature conditions. However, they are very often catalyzed for a better efficiency, higher reaction rates and milder conditions. Common catalysts include acids, ...
