Cleavage of esters under nearly neutral conditions at high pressure. Chemo- and regioselective hydrolysis in organic solvents
摘要:
Hydrolysis of esters proceeded at room temperature under high pressures in the presence of iPr2NEt or N-methylmorpholine using CH3CN-H2O (60:1) as the solvent. This very mild procedure enables the smooth hydrolysis of biologically important compounds such as amino esters, aliphatic unsaturated fatty esters, and beta-hydroxy esters; no racemization, no isomerization, and no side reactions take place.
