Transesterification of beta-keto esters catalysedi by basic porous material
beta-keto esters have been successfully transesterified with primary, secondary, tertiary, allylic and alkynic alcohols in good yields using TBD anchored on MCM support for the first time. The hybrid solid base catalyst can be recycled several times with consistent activity.
