Research output: Contribution to journal › Review article › peer-review

Abstract

A survey of catalysts able to mediate the transesterification/acylation reaction is presented. Metal and organic catalysts are capable of facilitating this important transformation.

1 Introduction

2 Transesterification Reactions Catalyzed by Lewis Acids

2.1 Lanthanide (Sm) Catalysis

2.2 Tin Catalysis

2.3 Indium Catalysis

2.4 Yttrium Catalysis

3 Transesterification Reactions Catalyzed by Nucleophilic Catalysts

3.1 Superbase-Catalyzed Transesterification of Esters with Alcohols

3.2 Nucleophilic N-Heterocyclic Carbene (NHC) Catalysis

4 Conclusions.
