A cheap, facile and metal-free photochemical protocol for the activation of aromatic aldehydes has been developed. Utilizing thioxanthen-9-one as the photocatalyst and cheap household lamps as the light source, a variety of aromatic aldehydes have been activated and subsequently converted in a one-pot reaction into amides, hydroxamic acids and esters in good to high yields. The applicability of this method was highlighted in the synthesis of Moclobemide, a drug against depression and social anxiety. Extended and detailed mechanistic studies have been conducted, in order to determine a plausible mechanism for the reaction.

An efficient and convenient palladium-catalyzed carbonylation reaction for the synthesis of benzyl benzoates from aryl bromides has been developed. Benzyl formates have been explored as a new type of efficient and useful CO sources and also reaction partners. A wide range of benzyl benzoates was obtained in good to excellent yields.

Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid catalyzed C–O bond cleavage leading to the preparation of functional esters in the presence of N-methylpyrrolidin-2-one (NMP) was accomplished. Various substrates were well tolerated, and a gram-scale experiment was successfully realized. DFT calculations indicated that NMP plays a decisive role in accelerating nucleophilic attack of the functional acid to generate the functional esters in chlorobenzene.
