However, in some systems the redistribution of monomer segments may result from other reactions, such as trans-esterification, trans amidation or trans-etherification. Consider, e.g., a solution of living polyglycols...

The equilibrium point lies far to the left and little methyl acetate (CH3COOCH3) is formed if water in not removed. By reactive distillation it is possible to continuously remove water and considerably intensify the reaction. Eastman Chemical pioneered one of the first major applications of reactive distillation, to significantly simplify the production of methyl acetate (Figure 3.7). This unit first went into operation in 1983. Among typical reactions where a by-product prevents the reaction from going to the right are esterification, trans-esterification, hydrolysis, acetalization and amination. Other types of reactions that could benefit from reactive distillation include alkylation/transalkylation/dealkylation, isomerization and chlorination.

Methylindole and acetylenedicarboxylic acid is reported to give two unidentified products, but with the dimethyl ester the crs and trans (61) adducts were obtained. It was suggested that the major product had the trans configuration but this was not proved. Hydrogenation of both adducts gave the corresponding succinic ester, which was also obtained from 2-methylindole and maleic anhydride, followed by esterification. 

The classic method for controlling stereochemistry is to perform reactions on cyclic substrates. A rather lengthy but nonetheless efficient example in the prostaglandin field uses bicyclic structures for this purpose. Bisacetic acid derivative S is available in five steps from Diels-Alder reaction of trans-piperylene and maleic anhydride followed by side-chain homologation. Bromolactonization locks the molecule as bicyclic intermediate Esterification, reductive dehalogen-... 

Hydrogenation of l-0-acetyl-2,4,6-tri-0-benzoyl-2,3-didehydro-3-deoxy-a-D-erythro-hexose (30) gave a crystalline l-0-acetyl-2,4,6-tri-0-benzoyl-3-deoxyhexose in 60% yield, which on de-esterification with methoxide in methanol afforded 3-deoxy- -D-nfeo-hexose (22). It was not possible to hydrogenate the / isomer under the conditions used for the a form, presumably because the large trans-related C-l and C-4 ester groupings prevent the necessary contact with the catalyst. 

Organotin compounds such as monobutyltin oxide, the main substance used, accounting for 70% of consumption, dibutyltin oxide, monooctyltin oxide, and dioctyltin oxide are used in certain esterification and transesterification reactions, at concentrations between 0.001% and 0.5% by weight. They are used in the production of substances such as phthalates, polyesters, alkyd resins, fatty acid esters, and adipates and in trans-esterifications. These substances are in turn used as plasticizers, synthetic lubricants, and coatings. Organo-tins are used as catalysts to reduce the formation of unwanted by-products and also provide the required colour properties (ETICA, 2002). 

In the stochastic theory of branching processes the reactivity of the functional groups is assumed to be independent of the size of the copolymer. In addition, cyclization is postulated not to occur in the sol fraction, so that all reactions in the sol fraction are intermolecular. Bonds once formed are assumed to remain stable, so that no randomization reactions such as trans-esterification are incorporated. In our opinion this model is only approximate because of the necessary simplifying assumptions. The numbers obtained will be of limited value in an absolute sense, but very useful to show patterns, sensitivities and trends.

Fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) are currently manufactured mainly by trans-esterification with an alcohol, using a homogeneous base catalyst (NaOH/KOH). Methanol is more suitable for biodiesel manufacturing, but other alcohols can in principle also be used, depending on the feedstock available. The... 

The patent describes the formation of complex metal chelates by treatment of the ketoester simultaneously with an alcohol and a metal to effect trans-esterification and chelate formation by distilling out the by-product ethanol [1], This process was being applied to produce the zinc chelate of 2-tris(bromomethyl)ethyl acetoacetate, and when 80% of the ethanol had been distilled out (and the internal temperature had increased considerably), a violent decomposition occurred [2], This presumably involved interaction of a bromine substituent with excess zinc to form a Grignard-type reagent, and subsequent exothermic reaction of this with one or more of the bromo or ester functions present.
