Esterification of salicylic acid using Ce4+ modified cation-exchange resin as catalyst

The esterification of salicylic acid with methanol was carried out over a series of Ce4+ modified cation-exchange resins. The effect of different reaction conditions was studied on the conversion of salicylic acid, and the optimal reaction parameters were obtained. The experimental results indicated that Ce(SO4)2/001×7 was an effective catalyst for the synthesis of methyl salicylate. The conversion of salicylic acid could reach 93.3% while its selectivity was more than 99.0%. SEM-EDS and TG-DSC analysis were employed to characterize the structure and property of the catalyst. Besides, the catalytic performance of Ce(SO4) 2/001×7 in the esterification of salicylic acid with different alcohols was compared. The reusability of Ce(SO4)2/ 001×7 was also studied by using salicylic acid and methanol as model substrates. The mechanism was proposed for the esterification of salicylic acid with methanol over Ce4+ modified cation-exchange resins.

New boron(III)-catalyzed amide and ester condensation reactions

In 1996, we reported that benzeneboronic acids bearing electron-withdrawing groups at the meta- or para-position are highly effective catalysts for the amide condensation reaction in less-polar solvents. In this paper, we report that N-alkyl-4-boronopyridinium halides are more effective catalysts than the previous ones in more polar solvents. N-Alkyl-4-boronopyridinium halides are effective not only for amide condensation between equimolar mixtures of carboxylic acids and amines but also for the esterification of α-hydroxycarboxylic acids in alcohol solvents. Furthermore, perchlorocatecholborane is more effective than areneboronic acids for the amide condensation of sterically demanding carboxylic acids. In addition, Lewis acid-assisted Br?nsted acid (LBA), which is prepared from a 1:2 M mixture of boric acid and tetrachlorocatechol, is effective for the Ritter reaction from alcohols and nitriles to amides.

N-alkyl-4-boronopyridinium halides versus boric acid as catalysts for the esterification of α-hydroxycarboxylic acids

(Chemical Equation Presented) Boric acid is a highly effective catalyst for the dehydrative esterification reaction between equimolar mixtures of α-hydroxycarboxylic acids and alcohols. In contrast, N-methyl-4- boronopyridinium iodide (2a) is a more effective catalyst than boric acid for the similar esterification in excess alcohol. A heterogeneous catalyst, such as N-polystyrene-bound 4-boronopyridinium chloride, is also an effective catalyst and can be recovered by filtration.
