Esters are indispensable compounds both in daily life and in academic and industrial laboratories. Thus, efficient methods for synthesizing esters are important.[1] To date, various methods have been employed for this purpose, including condensation of alcohols and carboxylic acids,[2, 3] acid anhydrides,[4] or acyl halides;[5] transesterification;[6] ester- interchange reactions;[7] mercury-catalyzed reaction of carboxylic acids with acetylenes;[8 ...
