	Process for esterification in a chromatographic reactor - Patent 6586609
		Process for the esterification of organic acids with alcohols in a reactor of the chromatographic type in which the heterogeneous solid phase is capable of acting both as an esterification catalyst and as a means exhibiting preferential adsorption towards one of the reaction products (typically water).
		Esterification reactions are limited by a chemical equilibrium and therefore techniques for the industrial preparation of an ester involve two consecutive steps.
		In the case of carboxylic acids that are soluble under the esterification reaction conditions, the organic solvent is normally the carboxylic acid; alternatively, in the case of carboxylic acids that are insoluble and alcohols that are soluble under the esterification reaction conditions, the organic solvent is the alcohol

	Effects of Drugs on Cholesterol Esterification in Normal and Niemann-Pick Type C Fibroblasts
		Furthermore, in the present study which demonstrated that A Y-9944 and other CADs caused a marked reduction of cholesterol esterification in control fibroblasts and an excessive intracellular accumulation of unesterified cholesterol as in NPC cells, and that this reduction could partially be,corrected by the addition of 2% DMSO to the medium.
		Esterification of LDL-derived cholesterol in fibroblasts treated with AY-9944 reduced to 0.5 nmol/mg prot at 24 hours of incubation, and the reduced activity remained almost unchanged during subsequent incubation.
		However, the mechanism of the effect of CADs on cholesterol esterification may be related to the alteration of membrane permeability, as imipramine did.

		SMase treatment causes esterification of endogenous plasma membrane cholesterol (24), and thus one might expect similar mechanisms of cholesterol transport to ACAT as that seen in the distal pathway of lipoprotein-induced cholesterol esterification.
		The inhibition of cholesterol esterification in energy-depleted cells was not due to increased cellular cholesterol efflux, which was not affected by energy depletion (11.9 ± 1.0% of cellular cholesterol effluxed in control cells versus 11.4 ± 1.6% in energy-depleted cells).

	BIP - Lipase-catalyzed enantioselective esterification of flurbiprofen with n-butanol
		One approach that may be used to obtain a pure enantiomer of flurbiprofen from its racemic mixture is to use lipase in an organic medium to catalyze the esterification of the flurbiprofen with an alcohol, such as n-butanol.
		Since the three solvents possess similar physical properties, the explanation for this anomalous behavior might be the effect of the solvent structural characteristics on Crl, since isooctane is the only branched alkane.
		The results of this study suggest that the enantioselective esterification of flurbiprofen catalyzed by lipases is significantly influenced by the nature of the solvent, the source of the lipase, and the activity of water in the reaction medium.

	Thermodynamics of Phase and Chemical Equilibrium in a Strongly Nonideal Esterification System
		In this study, the reaction equilibrium of the reversible esterification of acetic acid with 1-butanol giving 1-butyl acetate and water was investigated.
		In experiments concerning reactive subsystems (subsystems containing both butanol and acetic acid), reaction I cannot be totally avoided using a circulating still because acetic acid catalyzes both the esterification reaction and the hydrolysis of the ester.
		On the basis of a comprehensive experimental investigation and literature data, thermodynamic models of both phase and reaction equilibrium of the esterification system containing acetic acid, 1-butanol, 1-butyl acetate, and water were developed.

	Fischer Esterification
		The Lewis or Brønstedt acid-catalyzed esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols to give esters is a typical reaction in which the products and reactants are in equilibrium.
		The equilibrium may be influenced by either removing one product from the reaction mixture (for example, removal of the water by azeotropic distillation or absorption by molecular sieves) or by employing an excess of one reactant.
		Another pathway for the production of esters is the formation of a carboxylate anion, which then reacts as a nucleophile with an electrophile (similar reactions can be found here).
