Sn(iv)-based organometallics as catalysts for the production of fatty acid alkyl esters

Abstract

This paper discusses mechanistic aspects and applications of organotin(IV) catalysts. Particularly, these complexes are employed in a series of industrial reactions in which esters are obtained via (trans)esterification, e.g., polyesters and lactones. Due to the recent results pointed out in the literature, the potential application of this type of catalyst in the synthesis of fatty acid alkyl esters (FAAEs) is also presented.
