β¦ Synopsis
Iodine, was found to be a practical and useful Lewis acid catalyst for the esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols. The high catalytic activity of iodine can be used for the transesterification of esters by different alcohols including tertiary alcohols and sterically hindered primary and secondary alcohols. The method presented is especially effective for simultaneous esterification and transesterification reactions.

The iodination of N-H or N-benzylpyrazoles using elemental iodine in the presence of CAN as the in situ oxidant is a mild and efficient method to prepare 4-iodopyrazoles containing even electron-withdrawing substituents. The reaction is regioselective since the iodine atom preferred pyrazole instead
