Abstract

Benzotriazole esters formed in situ were found to be efficient intermediates in the esterification of tertiary alcohols using 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) as the base. These mild and basic reaction conditions allow the conversion of various substrates into esters in good yield.

Key words

esterification - hindered alcohols - 1-hydroxybenzotriazole - carbodiimides - hydrotalcites
