Synthesis of Esters Under Microwave Irradiation Using Heteropoly Acids as Catalysts

A practical and simple technique for synthesis of esters was developed by using heteropoly acid as catalyst under microwave irradiation in the absence of organic solvents. Alcohols were easily and selectively converted to their acetates and benzoates with excellent yields (≥98%), and in very short t...

Description
Summary:A practical and simple technique for synthesis of esters was developed by using heteropoly acid as catalyst under microwave irradiation in the absence of organic solvents. Alcohols were easily and selectively converted to their acetates and benzoates with excellent yields (≥98%), and in very short time (∼5 min), as environmentally benign.
