Abstract
A catalytic amount of 4-dimethylaminopyridine showed drastic additive effects on transesterification catalyzed by the μ4-oxo-tetranuclear zinc cluster Zn4(OCOCF3)6O, enhancing the catalytic activity by more than 15-fold. The new catalyst system facilitates transesterification of less reactive sterically demanding esters and alcohols.
