A method for the catalytic formation of electroauxiliaries and subsequent anodic oxidation has been developed. The process interfaces N-heterocyclic carbene-based organocatalysis with electro-organic synthesis to achieve direct oxidation of catalytically generated electroactive intermediates. We demonstrate the applicability of this method as a one-pot conversion of aldehydes to esters for a broad range of aldehyde and alcohol substrates. Furthermore, the anodic oxidation reactions are very clean, producing only H-2 gas as a result of cathodic reduction.
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。
Bis azide–triphenylphosphine as a reagent for esterification at room temperature
well-established reaction for the amide synthesis from organic azides and carboxylic acids in the presence of phosphorous reagents. In contrary to this, it is notable that bis azide in the presence of triethylphosphite or trimethylphosphite does not afford the expected bis amides but affords the ethyl or methyl esters of the carboxylic acids respectively. This serendipitous observation when further investigated
The ubiquitousness of esters and amide functionalities makes their coupling reaction one of the most sought-after organic transformations. Herein, we have described an efficient microwave-assisted synthesis of esters and amides. Soluble triphenylphosphine, in conjugation with molecular iodine, gave the desired products without the requirement for a base/catalyst. In addition, a solid-phase synthetic

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
