Even when the wattage was doubled for the allotted
time, little change in yield was observed. Additionally,
the tolerance of the method for reactive ester and
aldehyde groups was demonstrated (Table 2, entries 9
and 10). One caveat to the success of imidazole promo-
tion was that tertiary alcohols could not be esterified.
Evidence of alkene side-products in the IR and proton
NMR spectra pointed to the likelihood of elimination
under the conditions necessary for esterification.

Finally, a selection of catalytic bases was used (Table
3). Imidazole performed comparably well to DMAP
and DABCO (1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane), common
catalytic bases. Imidazole’s chief advantage was cost. It
was also a very conveniently measured solid material,
contrasted with the more expensive and less effective

The simple and quick microwave oven method
described here for esterification of alcohol compounds
adds a new procedure to the organic synthetic tool box.
Imidazole promotion extended the method over previ-
ous reports by allowing primary, secondary and pheno-
lic alcohol compounds to be esterified with a useful
range of carboxylic acid residues. This method should
be of use in research, education, and industry.
