title: Chemoselectivity in reactions of esterification.
abstract: This review is devoted to the problem of chemoselective formation of ester functions in polyfunctional molecules. The review covers most typical approaches to chemoselective acylation of hydroxy groups in molecules containing an amino, mercapto, or another hydroxy functionality as well as chemoselective esterification of di- and polycarboxylic acids.
