Published on:
A new esterification method was investigated using triphenylphosphine dibromide as a ehydrating agent. This investigation has established that the method is useful when the acid is aromatic or arylallylic. That primary and secondary alcohols esterify acid satisfactorily whereas tertiary alcohols fail to react was also established in this experiment.
