DMAP-catalyzed esterification of pentaerythritol-derivatized POMs: a new route for the functionalization of polyoxometalates

Chem Commun (Camb). 2011 May 21;47(19):5557-9. doi: 10.1039/c1cc10650c. Epub 2011 Apr 5.

Abstract

We have demonstrated that a pentaerythritol-derivatized hexavanadate can be easily esterified with acid anhydrides using 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) as a catalyst, which provides a convenient method for the functionalization of polyoxometalates.
