Mono, bi and tridentate aromatic esters synthesis via green chemistry methodology and biological tests

Abstract

Environmentally conscious organic syntheses are desired because they yield the same products as traditional reactions, especially when they are faster, involve less toxic reagents, and save resources by consuming less electrical energy and avoiding high classical temperatures. To achieve this, the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry have been applied in chemical and pharmaceutical laboratories and industries. Three esters were synthesized quickly and cleanly, using three natural organic products available in the LAPQUÍM-UFMT-Araguaia laboratory, through Schotten-Baumann esterification. Subsequently, the molecules of the reagents and products were physicochemically characterized, and their biological activities were tested.
