The Cu-catalyzed aerobic oxidative esterification of simple ketones via C-C bond cleavage has been developed. Varieties of common ketones, even inactive aryl long-chain alkyl ketones, are selectively converted into esters. The reaction tolerates a wide range of alcohols, including primary and secondary alcohols, chiral alcohols with retention of the configuration, electron-deficient phenols, as well
已经开发了通过 CC 键裂解的 Cu 催化的简单酮的有氧氧化酯化。各种常见的酮,甚至是惰性的芳基长链烷基酮,都被选择性地转化为酯。该反应耐受多种醇,包括伯醇和仲醇、保留构型的手性醇、缺电子酚以及各种天然醇。使用廉价的铜催化剂、广泛的基材范围以及中性和露天条件使该协议非常实用。(18)O 标记实验表明,在这种转化过程中发生了氧化作用。初步机制研究表明,该过程主要涉及两条新途径。

A simple and efficient copper‐catalysed procedure for oxidativeesterification of aldehydes with alcohols and phenols mediated by sodium cyanide, using air as a clean oxidant, is described. A variety of aromaticaldehydes and structurally different alcohols and phenols reacted efficiently, and the product esters were obtained in good to excellent yields under normal atmospheric and solvent‐free conditions
our findings on a novel and cheap NiCl2 catalytic system under ligand-free conditions for the efficient thiocarbonylation, alkoxycarbonylation and amidocarbonylation reactions of aryl iodides in the presence of Cr(CO)6 as the solid source of carbon monoxide under air. A variety of aryl iodides tolerated the reaction conditions and structurally different thiols, alcohols and amines were used efficiently

Cu-catalyzed domino decyanation and cyanation reaction of acyl cyanides with amines or alcohols have been developed. The cyanosources were generated in situ via C–CN cleavage yielding the corresponding cyano substituted amides or esters in moderate to excellent yields. This approach features a cheap copper catalyst, domino decyanation and cyanation reaction, readily available starting materials, broad
This work describes the use of kinetics as a tool for rational optimization of an esterification process with down to equimolar ratios of reagents using a recyclable commercially available zirconocene complex in catalytic amounts. In contrast to previously reported group IV metal-catalyzed esterification protocols, the work presented herein circumvents the use of water scavengers and perfluorooctane
