An electrolytic method for the direct oxidative coupling of aldehydes with alcohols to produce esters is described. Our method involves anodic oxidation in presence of TBAF as supporting electrolyte in an undivided electrochemical cell equipped with graphite electrodes. This method successfully couples a wide range of alcohols to benzaldehydes with yields ranging from 70 to 90%. The protocol is easy to perform at a constant voltage conditions and offers a sustainable alternative over conventional methods.

The combination of intermolecular enyne cross metathesis and subsequent 1,4-hydrogenation opens a stereocontrolled and atom-economic access to trisubstituted olefins. By investigating different combinations of functionalized alkyne and alkene substrates, we found that the outcome (yield, E / Z ratio) of the Grubbs II-catalyzed enyne cross-metathesis step depends on the substrate's structure, the amount of the alkene (used in excess), and the (optional) presence of ethylene. In any case, the 1,4-hydrogenation, catalyzed by 1,2-dimethoxybenzene-Cr(CO) 3, proceeds stereospecifically to yield exclusively the E -products from both the E- and Z- 1,3-diene intermediates obtained by metathesis. A rather broad scope and functional group compatibility of the method is demonstrated by means of 15 examples.
