Trichloroacetimidates are useful reagents for the synthesis of esters under mild conditions that do not require an exogenous promoter. These conditions avoid the undesired decomposition of substrates with sensitive functional groups that are often observed with the use of strong Lewis or Brønsted acids. With heating, these reactions have been extended to benzyl esters without electron-donating groups. These inexpensive
Efficient acetylation and benzoylation of alcohols and phenols with acetic and benzoic anhydrides have been carried out under catalysis of bismuth(III) salts including BiCl3, Bi(TFA)3 and Bi(OTf)3. Selective acetylation and benzoylation of alcohols in the presence of phenols is an additional advantage of this procedure.
5,5′-Dimethyl-3,3′-azoisoxazole as a new heterogeneous azo reagent for esterification of phenols and selective esterification of benzylic alcohols under Mitsunobu conditions
3′-azoisoxazole is used as a new efficient heterogeneous azo reagent for the highly selective esterification of primary and secondary benzylic alcohols and phenols with aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids via Mitsunobu protocols. The reaction is highly selective for primary benzylic alcohols versus secondary ones, aliphatic alcohols and also phenols. The isoxazole hydrazine byproduct can be simply isolated

Copper-catalyzed, one-pot, three-component coupling reactions using thiols, alcohols, and oxygen to form a variety of esters in good yields were studied. In the presence of easily oxidized benzylic and allylic alcohols, thiols were selectively oxidized to form thionoesters, which underwent facile S/O exchange to afford esters. Thiols may be used as an alternative benzoyl source under mild aerobic conditions

Crossed products: Ortho‐substituted benzaldehydes react with other aromaticaldehydes in a highly selective, atom‐economical Tishchenko disproportionation (see scheme) in the presence of a readily prepared, inexpensive thiolate‐based catalyst. The methodology is of exceptionally wide scope and exhibits a high functional‐group tolerance.
