Abstract

Solvent-free esterifications of various carboxylic acids and alcohols can be catalyzed by surfactant-combined catalysts dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (DBSA) and copper dodecylbenzene sulfonate (CDBS) in moderate to excellent yield at room temperature. The esterification method has two notable advantages: first, there is no need for any solvent, even water, and secondly, no need for energy, the reaction can proceed smoothly at room temperature.
