Abstract
By mixing of β-hydroxypropyl phosphate and acetic acid in ethanol solution, ethyl acetate is produced. As found, acetyl phosphate is first formed, then it reacts with the solvent to give the final ethyl acetate product. By similar procedures, acetates of methanol, n-propanol, and n-butanol are also produced. Propylene oxide serves as a condensing agent. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
