Abstract

The esterification of carboxylic acids is a fundamental reaction in organic chemistry.1,2 Although a number of esterification procedures have been reported up to now,3-5 there are only a few methods for the effective preparation of esters from equimolar amounts of carboxylic acids and alcohols under mild conditions.6-8 During the past decade, our knowledge of microwave assisted organic synthesis has increased significantly.9-12 The use of microwave irradiation under ...
