General description

The mechanism of esterification of 1-(1-naphthyl)ethanol by isobutyric anhydride with 4-pyrrolidinopyridine as catalyst was studied.

Application

Isobutyric anhydride was used in the synthesis of 4-O-isobutyryl derivative via reaction with octyl β-D-glucopyranoside in the presence of C2-symmetric chiral 4-pyrrolidinopyridine as a catalyst.

Poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) (PMOZ), poly(2-propyl-2-oxazoline) (PnPOZ) and poly(2-isopropyl-2-oxazoline) (PiPOZ) were synthesized by hydrolysis of 50 kDa poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (PEOZ) and subsequent reaction of the resulting poly(ethylene imine) with acetic, butyric and isobutyric anhydrides, respectively. These polymers were characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance, FTIR
