Hydrolysis of p-Nitrophenyl Picolinate by N-Aminimides Having Metal Binding Site and Hydroxyl Group in the Presence of Zinc(II) Ion
It was found that N-aminimides possessing a metal binding site and a hydroxyl group facilitate transesterification of p-nitrophenyl picolinate(PNPP) to the hydroxyl group in the presence of Zn2+ in aqueous solution.
