Abstract

Transesterification is an important reaction which has wide applications1 in academic as well as industrial research. Thus, a number of procedures catalyzed by a variety of protic and Lewis acids, organic and inorganic bases, enzymes, and antibodies have been developed. 1, 2 Surprisingly, in all these reports although there are many examples of transesterification of esters to the corresponding analogues with higher alcohol moieties, ...
