Abstract
A general method is presented for the preparation of tert-butyl esters by the gentle warming of the carboxylic acid in the presence of excess of tert-butyl acetoacetate and a catalytic amount of acid. This method generates only low pressures, and is therefore suitable for laboratory scale pressure glassware.
