iron-catalyzed oxidative activation of the (O)CC bond in ketones has been developed. This method enables direct synthesis of esters by the reaction between ketones and alcohols via conversion of the (O)CC bond to the (O)CO bond. The reaction runs selectively: the (O)CCAlkyl bond is activated, while the (O)CCAryl bond remains intact (i.e., iron-catalyzed intermolecular anti-Baeyer-Villiger activation of the (O)CC
