[edit] Esterification

How readily does phenol form esters? Is there any special conditions that are required, like reflux or maybe an acid catalyst? Would it be easier to esterify it to a carboxylic acid than an alcohol? Can the reactant be a catalyst too? I assume it would be easier still to esterify with a diacid like oxalic acid? I assume oxalyl chloride is even faster still. I am trying to make phenyl oxalate ester, what is the best method without steling chemicals from my college lab? Lots of questions :) mastodon 23:24, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DPRK nuclear test

Fox news is now saying the seismic test may have indicated the test failed. In other words, I was right and this is simply speculative. There is, as far as I can tell, no reliable source confirming that this was a nuclear test. KazakhPol 03:58, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
