Abstract
Disclosed is a selective ester production process of an alcoholic hydroxyl group, which proceeds under chemically mild conditions, while having adequate environmental suitability, operability and economical efficiency. Specifically disclosed is a process for producing an ester compound, which is characterized in that an alcohol and a carboxylic acid ester compound are reacted in the presence of a compound containing zinc element, thereby selectively acylating a hydroxyl group of the alcohol.
Claims6
A process for producing an ester compound, comprising allowing a carboxylic acid ester compound to react in a reaction system in which an amino group and an alcoholic hydroxyl group are co-present, in the presence of a compound containing zinc element, and thereby selectively acylating the alcoholic hydroxyl group.
