Cu(ii)-catalyzed esterification reaction via aerobic oxidative cleavage of C(CO)–C(alkyl) bonds

Abstract

A novel Cu(II)-catalyzed aerobic oxidative esterification of simple ketones for the synthesis of esters has been developed with wide functional group tolerance. This process is assumed to go through a tandem sequence consisting of α-oxygenation/esterification/nucleophilic addition/C–C bond cleavage and carbon dioxide is released as the only byproduct.
