Abstract

Esterification is one of the most fundamentally important reactions in organic synthesis.[1] Although a number of methods have been developed, the search for new, facile, cost- effective, and environmentally friendly procedures that avoid the use of large excess of reagents and expensive activators has attracted substantial interest.[2] An attractive alternative is the direct catalytic transformation of alcohols or aldehydes to esters, without ...
