| Research Abstract |
We had found an effective coupling reaction of carboxylic acids and alcohols using aromatic anhydrides by the promotion of nucleophilic base catalysts, such as DMAP and DMAPO. Furthermore, we have developed a method for the preparation of optically active carboxylic esters by the kinetic resolution of racemic secondly alcohols using carboxylic anhydrides, and achiral carboxylic acids via mixed-anhydride formation method in the presence of chiral acyl-transfer catalysts. In this study, we succeeded in preparing new pyridine oxide compounds (DM-DMAPO and DM-DMQO) and other nucleophilic base catalysts. Moreover, the following reactions were performed in the presence of any of these as a catalyst, (1) a process for producing an ester or amide compound from a carboxylic acid equivalent and an alcohol or amine, (2) an asymmetric esterification reaction, and (3) an asymmetric aldol and allylation reactions.
