Abstract
  A general, mild and efficient protocol has been developed for the synthesis of esters and thioesters. The process has been taking place using tetra n-butylammonium iodide (TBAI) as a phase-transfer catalyst and in the presence of potassium carbonate (K2CO3). A wide range of esters and thioesters was ...  Read More
