Abstract
An improved and novel process for the preparation of a carboxylic acid ester which comprises reacting a carboxylic acid with an alcohol or a sulfenic acid ester thereof in the presence of a tertiary phosphine and a disulfide of a mercaptoheterocyclic compound containing a nitrogen-carbon double bond with which the disulfide linkage is conjugated.
Claims5
A process for the preparation of a carboxylic acid ester which comprises reacting an aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic carboxylic acid with an aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic alcohol or an alkyl- or aryl-sulfenic acid ester thereof in the presence of an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbonyl tertiary phosphine and a disulfide of a mercaptoheterocyclic compound containing a nitrogen-carbon double bond with which the disulfide linkage is conjugated.
A process for the preparation of an amino acid active ester which comprises reacting an aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic amino acid with an aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic alcohol having an acidic hydroxy group in the presence of an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbonyl tertiary phosphine and a disulfide of a mercaptoheterocyclic compound containing a nitrogen-carbon double bond with which the disulfide linkage is conjugated.
