34. We have reported condensation reactions between alcohols and carboxylic acids using triphenylphosphine and atmospheric oxygen in the presence of a catalytic amount of Fe(Pc). The stereochemistry of esters obtained from chiral secondary alcohols was absolutely retained in this reaction, see:, T. Taniguchi, D. Hirose, H. Ishibashi, ACS Catal. 2011, 1, 1469-1474. This esterification could compete with the present catalytic Mitsunobu reaction and decrease inversion products in some cases.
35. Although we never detected peroxides from THF in the present reaction, attention should be given to the possibility of an explosion when a combination of THF and air is used. CPME is a good substitute for THF because the corresponding peroxide is hardly formed under air, see:, K. Watanabe, N. Yamagiwa, Y. Torisawa, Org. Process Res. Dev. 2007, 11, 251-258.
