Onoda, Mitsuki published the artcileDehydrogenative Esterification and Dehydrative Etherification by Coupling of Primary Alcohols Based on Catalytic Function Switching of an Iridium Complex, Application of Methyl octanoate, the main research area is primary alc iridium catalyst dehydrogenative esterification green chem; ester preparation; alc iridium catalyst dehydrative esterification green chem; ether preparation.
In this study, a new catalytic function switching system: not only dehydrogenative esterification but also dehydrative etherification under environmentally friendly conditions were accomplished by the employment of a single iridium catalyst based on catalytic function switching was successfully developed. Using benzyl alc. as a starting material, the esterification product, benzyl benzoate, and the etherification product, dibenzyl ether, were obtained in 92% and 89% yields, resp., by employing same iridium catalyst precursor bearing a dihydroxybipyridine ligand, under optimized conditions.
ChemistrySelect published new progress about Esterification. 111-11-5 belongs to class esters-buliding-blocks, name is Methyl octanoate, and the molecular formula is C9H18O2, Application of Methyl octanoate.
