Abstract
Reaction of dicarboxylic acid with benzyl alcohol under the microwave irradiation proceeds faster as compared to the thermal conditions. The main reaction products are alkyl dicarboxylates, and the monoester and dibenzyl ether are formed as the side products. A proposal about the nature of the nonthermal effect in the reactions stimulated by the microwave irradiation is considered.
