O,O′-Di(2-pyridyl) Thiocarbonate as an Efficient Reagent for the Preparation of Carboxylic Esters from Highly Hindered Alcohols

Abstract
Various carboxylic esters were obtained in high yields from free carboxylic acids and several alcohols including bulky ones by using O,O′-di(2-pyridyl) thiocarbonate and a catalytic amount of DMAP.
