  • Publication number: 20140187777
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are some methods for synthesizing the base-assisted coupling of aromatic alcohols with substituted aromatic compounds including some substituted heteroaromatic compounds such as pyrimidines or pyridines to form esters. The reactions may include inexpensive bases such as potassium hydroxide and take place in a solvent mixture comprised primarily of hindered tertiary alcohols that are at least partially immiscible with water. In some embodiments the tertiary alcohol solvents forms azeotropes with water which stabilize the formation of an alkoxide intermediate when the alkoxide formation step is heated to the boiling point of the azeotrope and water is withdrawn from the reaction mixture.
