Abstract

Esterification is a fundamental transformation in chemistry. The essential feature of esterification that particularly distinguishes it from other reactions lies in its broad utilization in industry. Up to now, esterification only largely occurs between carboxylic acid derivatives and alcohols.[1] Aldehydes are also readily available and are bulk scale raw chemicals in industry. Theoretically, esterification of aldehydes with alcohols is an attractive alternative. ...
