either carboxylic acids or alcohols are normally needed. We found that the directcondensation of equimolar amounts of carboxylic acids and alcohols could be achieved using hafnium(IV) or zirconium(IV) salts. These metal salts are highly effective as catalysts for the selective esterification of primary alcohols with carboxylic acids in the presence of secondary alcohols or aromatic alcohols. The present

especially large-scale, fundamental reactions like estercondensations, are highly desirable for many reactions. Bulky diarylammonium pentafluorobenzenesulfonates and tosylates serve as extremely active dehydration catalysts for the estercondensation reaction of carboxylicacids with equimolaramounts of sterically demanding alcohols and acid-sensitive alcohols. Typically, the esterification reaction is performed
Estercondensation is one among the most fundamental organic transformations, and more environmentally benign alternatives to current esterification processes are needed. Under solvent-free and drying agent-free conditions, catalytic amounts of sulfonic acids promote estercondensationbetween an equimolar mixture of carboxylicacids and alcohols. In particular, p-toluenesulfonic acid (TsOH) and 10-camphorsulfonic
Zincperchloratehexahydrate, Zn(ClO4)2⋅6H2O, efficientlycatalyses the esterification between nearly equimolar amounts of carboxylicacids and alcohols. The reaction works under solvent-free conditions at relatively low temperatures. Excellent results were obtained with a wide range of substrates.

The lipid analogs of pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate (PPTS) were examined for catalysis of the condensation of an equimolar mixture of carboxylic acids and alcohols under mild conditions without removal of water. Although PPTS is a poor catalyst, the introduction of a lipid chain and nitro group significantly improved the activity of PPTS and led to selectivity at suppressing the elimination side reactions of alcohols. 2-Oleamido-5-nitro-pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate (6) is a lead catalyst that promoted various esterification reactions with yields up to 99%.
