“…Use of a primary or a saturated achiral alcoholic substrate generally does not pose a problem in the Mitsunobu process, and hence, only a list of compounds wherein it is used is provided here. These include (i) photoresponsive esters with an azobenzene group, using the reaction of the mesogenic alcohols with fumaric acid or maleic acid, (ii) cyclohexyl nitronic ester by starting with cyclohexanol, (iii) polar functional PPV derivatives with ester groups for sensor applications, (iv) capsular polysaccharides, (v) acetylenic esters of 2,3-dibromomaleic acid and isophthalate esters as precursors for dendrimers, (vi) enfumafungin, (vii) buprestin A and B, (viii) cinnamyl monoglyceride, (ix) β-acyl glucuronides, − (x) 17 O-enriched esters of carbohydrates with PhC(O) 17 OH, (xi) bromoacetylation of Wang resin, (xii) (±)-6-myoporol, (xiii) multiple porphyrin arrays through ester linkages, (xiv) 3,5-hexadienyl acrylates, (xv) mono- and di-esters of sucrose with long chain carboxylic acids, (xvi) ( S )-(−)-camphanic acid esters of (hydroxymethyl)pyrroles, (xvii) syn , syn -bicyclo[3.3.0]octyl-2-benzoate, (xviii) an esterification step in the synthesis of syn -enol ethers, (xix) glass forming liquid crystals, (xx) conjugated reactive mesogen 2-methyl-1,4-bis[2-(4-acryloylpropyloxyphenyl)ethenyl]benzene, (xxi) 6,6′-di- O - p -nitrobenzoyl-2,3,4,3′,4′-penta- O -benzyl-1′-methoxymethylsucrose, (xxii) poly(triacetylene) oligomers with ester linkages, (xxiii) β-anomers of bile acid 24-acyl glucuronides, , (xxiv) geodiamolide A (an 18-membered cytotoxic depsipeptide from marine sponges), (xxv) 5′- O -acyl derivatives of nucleosides, , (xxvi) the acetate of ( R )-1-indanol, (xxvii) side chain copolymers containing liquid crystalline and photoactive chromophores, (xxviii) dimethyl-3-((1 Z )-propenyl)cyclopropanecarboxylic acid methyl ester, (xxix) oligothiophene containing photorefractive material with NLO chromophore, and (xxx) 4-flurobenzyl 4-(4-nitrophenyl)butyrate .
