4-Dimenthylaminopyridine or Acid-Catalyzed Synthesis of Esters: A Comparison
van den Berg, Annemieke W. C.; Hanefeld, Ulf
Journal of Chemical Education, v83 n2 p292 Feb 2006
A set of highly atom-economic experiments was developed to highlight the differences between acid- and base-catalyzed ester syntheses and to introduce the principles of atom economy. The hydrochloric acid-catalyzed formation of an ester was compared with the 4-dimethylaminopyradine-catalyzed ester synthesis.
