Abstract

An efficient and selective method for esterification of alcohols using N-(p-toluenesulfonyl) imidazole (TsIm) is described. In this method, alcohols are refluxed with a mixture of RCO2Na (R: alkyl and aryl), TsIm, and triethylamine in the presence of catalytic amounts of tetra-n-butylammonium iodide (TBAI) in DMF to afford the corresponding esters in good yields. This methodology is highly efficient for various structurally diverse alcohols with ...
