Phosphorofluoridic Acid-catalyzed Condensation Reaction of Carboxylic Acids with 1-Arylalkyl Alcohols Leading to Esters under Solvent-free Conditions
Phosphorofluoridic acid with all L-menthyl group catalyzed condensation reaction between carboxylic acids and 1-arylalkyl alcohols under solvent-free conditions to give esters in moderate to high yields. Results using aliphatic acids are shown.
