A metal-free esterification of various aldehydes or carboxylic acids with quaternary ammonium salts has been developed for selective synthesis of esters. A possible mechanism containing radical process that aldehyde converts to carboxylic acid and the generation of iodohydrocarbon via C-N bond cleavage of quaternary ammonium salt is proposed.
- quaternary ammonium salt,
- esterification,
- aldehyde
