Fe-catalyzed aerobic oxidative esterifications of arylacetonitriles with alcohols, tri alkoxsilanes, silicate esters, or borate esters have been developed. The acyl groups which were in situ generated via chemoselective C(CO)-CN bond cleavage were directly used as electrophiles, leading to corresponding aryl esters in good to excellent yields under molecular oxygen when attacked by alcohols or alcohol
