The conversion of ketones to esters has been achieved through the use of Cu catalyst and tetrabutylammonium nitrite. This reaction involves the activation of the less activated C-C bond, and the alkyl group is removed as a leaving group. Various isopropyl ketones are found to be good substrates for this reaction.

A modular tandem synthesis of 2-carboxybenzofurans from 2-gem-dibromovinylphenols has been established based on a sequence of Cu-catalyzed intramolecular C–O coupling and Mo(CO)6-mediated intermolecular carbonylationreactions. This protocol allowed one-step access to a broad variety of functionalized benzofuran-2-carboxylic acids, esters, and amides in good to excellent yields under Pd- and CO gas-free
A mild tandem oxidative functionalization of allyl aromatic hydrocarbons was accomplished in the catalytic system of Pd(OAc)2/DMA under 1 atm O2. The green twofold C-O bond formation involving double allylic...
