Abstract

1-Glycyl-3-methyl imidazolium chloride-iron (III) complex [[Gmim]Cl–Fe(III)] was found to be a heterogeneous catalyst for an efficient and greener solvent free synthesis of esters by the condensation of carboxylic acids and alcohols with excellent yield at ambient temperature. This operation formulates very interesting, ecological perspective due to simple reaction condition, isolation, and purification of products. In addition, this method features reusability of catalyst, reduced waste, thus making new protocol more environmentally suitable whilst no catalyst leaching was observed.
