title: Iridium-catalyzed oxidative methyl esterification of primary alcohols and diols with methanol.
abstract: Oxidative methyl esterification of primary alcohols and diols with methanol was successfully achieved, using acetone as a hydrogen acceptor, under the influence of an iridium complex combined with 2-(methylamino)ethanol (MAE) as catalyst.
