Insight into the mechanism of a safe, simple, and inexpensive phosphoric acid (H3PO4)-catalyzed acylation of alcohols with acid anhydrides is described. The corresponding in situ-generated diacylated mixed anhydrides, unlike traditionally proposed monoacylated mixed anhydrides, are proposed as the active species. In particular, the diacylated mixed anhydrides act as efficient catalytic acyl transfer reagents rather than as Br?nsted acid catalysts simply activating acid anhydrides. Remarkably, highly efficient phosphoric acid (1-3 mol %)-catalyzed acylation of alcohols with acid anhydrides was achieved and a 23 g scale synthesis of an ester was demonstrated. Also, phosphoric acid catalyst was effective for synthetically useful esterification from carboxylic acids, alcohols, and acid anhydride. Moreover, with regard to recent developments in chiral 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL)-derived phosphoric acid diester catalysts toward asymmetric kinetic resolution of alcohols by acylation, some phosphate diesters were examined. As a result, a 31P NMR study and a kinetics study strongly supported not only the acid-base cooperative mechanism as previously proposed by other researchers but also the mixed anhydride mechanism as presently proposed by us.

Herein, we report an efficient enantioselective cleavage of the acyl- moiety of a set of α- phenyl ethyl esters with different chain-lengths catalyzed by lipase B from Candida antarctica (CAL-B) by comparing two reactional approaches: anhydrous media with sodium carbonates and micro-aqueous medium. The deacylation is performed in organic solvent, in the presence of Na2CO3 in the first case, and by addition of a drop of phosphate buffer solution pH 7 in the second. The results show the high efficiency of the deacylation in the presence of the sodium carbonate for the enzymatic resolution of all the esters and that in term of reactivity (31% ≤ conv ≤ 50%) and selectivity (E > 200). While, during the hydrolysis in micro-aqueous media, the conversion is strongly affected by the length of the acyl-chain side, the conversion decreases from conv = 50% with the 1-phenylethyl acetate 1a to conv = 19% with 1-phenyethyl dodecanoate 6a, and this, even if the selectivity remains high (E > 89). In both conditions, the lipase CAL-B shows a high enantioselectivities in favor of (R)-1-phenyl ethanol enantiomer (conv > 45%, E > 200) but the reactivity is modulated by the form and the size of the acyl-chain side.

It is important to find a way for separation of concerned chemicals from product mixture after reaction, in order to avoid spreading harmful chemicals to society. The homogeneous nature of DMAP-catalyzed acylation still suffers from the problems of catalyst separation and/or residual DMAP contamination. DMAP causes acute dermal toxicity, whereas the corresponding DMAP salt exhibits only slight irritation to the skin. Very recently, we found that the DMAP saccharinate salt is also great recyclable catalyst, whose acylation of alcohols has been successfully and effectively carried out 10 times without loss in activity. This report covers our comprehensive studies on using the pyridinium saccharinate salts as efficient recyclable acylation catalysts including 4-N,N-dimethylaminopyridinium saccharinate (A), 4-(1-pyrrolidinyl) pyridinium saccharinate (B), 2-N,N-dimethylaminopyridinium saccharinate (C), and pyridinium saccharinate (D). Their structure and reactivity have been studied. The salts A, C, and D contain very interesting seven-membered synthon showing multiple H-bonding interactions for pair of pyridinium cation and saccharinate anion in the solid state. The salt B exhibits H-bonding interaction of N(sac) ... H-N(py) in the solid state, instead of seven-membered synthon. The catalytic reactivity studies show that salts A and B are both very effective, with salt B even better in reactivity, and are both recyclable in the esterification of a variety of alcohols, under solvent-free and base-free conditions at room temperature.
