Abstract
The transfer of acyl group of p-nitrophenyl picolinate to alcohol acceptors has been investigated kinetically in AOT reverse micelles using hexane and DMF as the bulk and the core solvents, respectively. The reaction was found to be remarkably catalyzed by a 1:2 complex of Cu2+ ion and N-dodecyl-2-hydroxymethylimidazole ligand involving the acylated ligand as the intermediate. It was also observed that the reaction in the reverse micelles was much faster than that in pure DMF.Keywords
