Abstract

A combination of hard Lewis acid AlCl 3 and a soft nucleophile NaI in acetonitrile has been used as an efficient system for the selective esterification reaction between aromatic carboxylic acid and alcohol. ... A combination of hard Lewis acid AlCl 3 and a soft nucleophile NaI in acetonitrile
