Abstract

Half-esters are important building blocks for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, polymers and natural products. Therefore, synthetic methodologies for both chiral and racemic half-esters have been actively investigated for decades. This short review summarizes recent progress in the synthesis of half-esters and their applications including the studies from our laboratories.
