Esterification of carboxylic acids capable of forming ketene intermediates upon treatment with carbodiimides permits the selective acylation of alcohols in the presence of phenols lacking strong electron-withdrawing groups. The selectivity of acylations involving highly acidic phenols could be reversed through the addition of catalytic amount of acid. Esterification of other carboxylic acids was found to proceed through the formation of symmetric anhydrides and provide the opposite chemoselectivity. In both cases the relative acylation rates of substituted phenols are consistent with a reaction mechanism involving an attack of phenolate anions on electrophilic intermediates such as ketenes and symmetric anhydrides, with the carbodiimides serving both as an activating reagent and as a basic catalyst.
