| Abstract | The selective esterifications of L-malic, L-tartaric and citric acids with tetramethoxysilane Si(OMe)4, in methanol (MeOH) have been demonstrated for the first time. The interactions between these acids and Si(OMe)4, and also between oxalic acid and Si(OMe)4, were investigated using 1H, 13C and 29Si solution phase NMR, and electrospray mass spectrometry (ES-MS). Si(OMe)4 acts as a catalyst/reagent in the selective esterification of simple 2-hydroxycarboxylic acids (2HOAs), but with the di- and tri-carboxylic acids more complex selectivities are observed: the esterification of oxalic acid proceeds slower than in MeOH alone, L-malic acid is selectively esterified ∼1000 times faster at the 2-hydroxy acid, L-tartaric acid is esterified ∼1000 times faster to the mono- and diester, while citric acid is selectively methylated at the terminal (3-hydroxycarboxyl) groups ∼1000 times faster than in the absence of Si(OMe)4. Esterification is associated with the condensation of silane units to form oligomers. A mechanism is proposed in which 2HOAs attach to silicon via the alkoxy group and carboxyl groups to form various reactive cyclic intermediates. These intermediates may lead to accelerated esterification via nucleophilic attack of MeOH at the ligated carboxyl group, while a separate reaction pathway leads to condensation of silicon centres leading to oligosilanes. The mechanism has implications for the use of 2HOAs as templates in sol–gel silica preparation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
