Significance

Polymer-supported bulky diarylammonium arenesulfonate catalyst was found to promote the direct ester condensation reaction of 4-phenylbutyric acid with 1-octanol to give 1-octyl 4-phenylbutyrate in over 99% yield. The catalyst was readily recovered and reused by filtration. The recycling of the catalyst was repeated nine times during which no loss of catalytic activity was observed.
