Abstract
An operationally simple, inexpensive, efficient, and environmentally friendly esterification of carboxylic acids with triethyl orthoacetate under neutral conditions in a typical room temperature ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, was carried out to provide the corresponding ethyl esters in high yields.
Key words
carboxylic acid - ethyl ester - triethyl orthoacetate - ionic liquid - environmentally friendly
