Abstract

... ELECTROCHEMICAL TRANSACYLATIONS: A MILD SYNTHESIS OF ESTERS Richard W. Johnson^, MD Bednarski, BF O'Leary and ER Grover Department of Chemistry, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138 ... 1, and our results are summarized in Table I. The monoesters were obtained by acylation of p-benzyloxyphenol followed by hydrogenolysis, and all exhibited an irreversible oxidation around +1.6 V vs. sce as measured by cyclic voltammetry. ...
