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。
