catalysts bearing a cationic phosphonium and an anionic
sulfonamide. The template effect provided by the zwitterion
allowed efficient bromoesterification using an equimolar
mixture of reactants. Further investigations on using the
zwitterionic catalysts in other reactions including asymmetric
haloesterification are underway.
