A protocol that carboxylic acids esterifies with the quaternary ammonium salt of deep eutectic solvent (DES) is presented, which opens a new access to ester using DES as alkylating agent, solvent, and catalyst. The reaction runs smoothly in DES without any other additives. Substituted cinnamic acids, aromatic acids, and aliphatic acids can be esterified in moderate to good yields. The advantages of this reaction include excellent functional group compatibility and simple reaction procedure.
Protonation of homoenolate equivalents generated by N-heterocyclic carbenes

Homoenolate equivalents are generated by Lewis basic N-heterocyclic carbene catalysts and then protonated to generate efficiently saturated esters from unsaturated aldehydes. This reactivity is extended to the generation of β-acylvinyl anions from alkynyl aldehydes. The asymmetric protonation of a homoenolate equivalent generated from a β,β-disubstituted aldehyde can be accomplished with a chiral N-heterocyclic carbene. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
