- Abstract
Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid catalyzed C--O bond cleavage leading to the preparation of functional esters in the presence of N-methylpyrrolidin-2-one (NMP) was accomplished. Various substrates were well tolerated, and a gram-scale experiment was successfully realized. DFT calculations indicated that NMP plays a decisive role in accelerating nucleophilic attack of the functional acid to generate the functional esters in chlorobenzene.
