Abstract

AbstractThe reaction of the formic acid/acetic anhydride reaction mixture with phenols at room temperature affords mainly the formates together with acetates. The quantity of acetates formed can be reduced by carrying out the esterification in solutions of benzene, carbon tetrachloride and other solvents. This finding has led to the synthesis of pure aryl formates.
