Moore, Gordon G. published the artcilePreparation of hindered esters by the alkylation of carboxylate salts with simple alkyl halides, Category: esters-buliding-blocks, the publication is Journal of Organic Chemistry (1979), 44(14), 2425-9, database is CAplus.
Sterically hindered esters were prepared in excellent yields by the use of anion-exchange resins in both biphase and triphase systems. In addition, quant. yields of a variety of esters were obtained by the displacement reactions of simple aliphatic and aromatic K carboxylate salts and alkyl halides in Me2CO or aqueous Me2CO. Esters prepared in quant. yields included Et hexadecanoate in 95% Me2CO and Et 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoate, 1-methylheptyl 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoate, and Et 9,10-epoxyoctadecanoate in pure Me2CO. The 2nd-order rate constant for the reaction of K 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoate with iodoethane in 95% acetone was 2.67 × 10-4 mL-1s-1 at 40°.
