TL;DR
N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) are efficient catalysts for transesterification/acylation reactions involving secondary alcohols using low catalyst loadings in convenient reaction times at room temperature.
Abstract
N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) are efficient catalysts for transesterification/acylation reactions involving secondary alcohols. The catalytic transformations are carried out employing low catalyst loadings in convenient reaction times at room temperature.

The NHC-catalyzed transesterification protocol was simplified by generating the imidazol-2-ylidene catalysts in situ, and methyl and ethyl esters can be employed as protective agents for secondary alcohols in the presence of the more active alkyl-substituted NHC catalysts.
