obtaining aryl esters from aliphatic primary alcohols and phenols was developed. The reaction proceeds under the irradiation of visible light at ambient temperature, dispensing with any oxidant or hydrogen acceptor. Primary alcohols having a variety of functional groups are successfully esterified with phenols. The produced esters can be utilized as the precursor of various carbonylcompounds.

The Friedel–Crafts acylation of 1-naphthol and phenol derivatives with carboxylic acids were investigated by using a catalytic amount of metal-triflate, in particular Yb(OTf)3, undersolvent-freeconditions. Both aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids reacted easily to afford the corresponding hydroxyaryl ketones.
(S)-Selectivekinetic resolution was achieved through the use of a commercially available protease, which was activated with a combination of two different surfactants. The kinetic resolution (KR) process was optimized with respect to activation of the protease and to the acyl donor. The KR proved to be compatible with a range of functionalized sec-alcohols, giving good to high enantiomeric ratio values

A new and efficient dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) process of secondary aromatic alcohols by using long carbon-chain esters as acyl donors has been developed. During the process, the transesterification catalyzed by CD8604 was found to be the main reason for the decrease in enantiomeric excess (ee). Using complex acyl donors, such as 4-chlorophenyl valerate, we could effectively inhibit the resin-catalyzed transesterification, and an excellent ee value (>99%) at high yield (>99%) was achieved. The mechanism for the inhibition of resin-catalyzed transesterification is believed to be the formation of micro-micelles in the pores of CD8604. It is noteworthy that the system can be reused more than 20 times without a loss of yield or ee value. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
