Abstract

Abstract A convenient method for the preparation of esters was developed on the basis of reaction of cage-like polycyclic olefins with carboxylic acid anhydrides and water. Mixed anhydrides were found to give rise to the corresponding low-molecular acid esters. Among the obtained esters, acetates possess a pleasant odor, and they can be used as components of synthetic fragrant substances.
