Abstract

Abstract Novel, practical protocols of transesterification have been advanced with recourse to fluorous biphase technology. The fluoroalkyldistannoxane catalysts enable transesterification in FC-72 solvent to furnish 100% yields of the desired esters by use of reactants ester and alcohol in a 1: 1 ratio. The catalysts also work in FC-72/organic solvent system as well as in toluene alone. A number of esters and alcohols bearing various ...
