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.

A metal-free protocol for the direct oxidative esterification of the Csp3-H bond in benzylic hydrocarbons with carboxylic acids using heterocyclic ionic liquid as catalyst has been reported. The catalyst 1-butylpyridinium iodide could be easily recycled and reused for at least four cycles without obvious loss of catalytic activity.

We report the first example of a dynamic kinetic asymmetric [3 + 2] annulation reaction of aminocyclopropanes with both enol ethers and aldehydes. Using a Cu catalyst and a commercially available bisoxazoline ligand, cyclopentyl- and tetrahydrofurylamines were obtained in 69-99% yield and up to a 98:2 enantiomeric ratio using the same reaction conditions. The method gives access to important enantio-enriched nitrogen building blocks for the synthesis of bioactive compounds.

Direct benzylation of carboxylic acids with toluene has been developed via palladium-catalyzed C-H acyloxylation under 1 atm of oxygen. This reaction demonstrates good functional group tolerance and high yields, providing a facile, atom-economic, and efficient method for the synthesis of benzyl esters.

The paper describes a cooperative NHC (N-heterocyclic carbene) and ruthenium-based redox catalysis for the mild aerobic oxidative esterification of various aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes. The ruthenium(II) complex Ru(bpz)3(PF6)2 (bpz=2,2′-bipyrazine) as catalyst is shown to be compatible with free NHCs. The NHC is used in these cascade reactions for the umpolung of the aldehyde to form the corresponding Breslow intermediate which in turn gets oxidized to an acylazolium ion by the ruthenium redox catalyst. Air is used as a terminal oxidant for oxidation (regeneration) of the ruthenium catalyst. In addition, we will show that in the absence of the ruthenium redox catalyst and alcohol, NHC-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of aldehydes delivers the corresponding acids in good to excellent yields. Mechanistic studies and DFT calculations supporting our suggested mechanisms are provided. Copyright
Transition metal free oxidative esterification of alcohols with toluene
Liu, Lianghui,Yun, Lin,Wang, Zikuan,Fu, Xuefeng,Yan, Chun-Hua

Using Bu4NI as the catalyst and tert-butyl hydroperoxide as the oxidant, direct esterification of alcohols with toluene derivatives was achieved. Mechanistic investigations indicate that the alcohols are sequentially oxidized to aldehydes, carboxylic acids, and then to benzyl esters. Bu 4N+ functions as a phasetransfer reagent and iodide catalyzes the reaction.
Direct conversion of N -alkoxyamides to carboxylic esters through tandem nbs-mediated oxidative homocoupling and thermal denitrogenation

, p. 8705 - 8711 (2013/09/24)
Treatment of N-alkoxyamides with NBS in toluene was found to conveniently afford the corresponding carboxylic esters, including those bearing a bulky or long-chain substituent, in satisfactory to excellent yields. This approach not only represents a convenient and economic approach to a direct transformation of an alkoxyamide moiety into the carboxylic ester functional group, via oxidative homocoupling and the subsequent thermal denitrogenation, but also facilitates the synthesis of sterically hindered carboxylic esters.
NHCs-mediated benzoates formation directly from aromatic aldehydes and alkyl halides
Li, Yi,Du, Wenting,Deng, Wei-Ping
experimental part, p. 3611 - 3615 (2012/06/15)
A NHCs-mediated benzoates formation was developed by treatment of aromatic aldehydes with alkyl halides in the presence of oxygen. Corresponding benzoate derivatives were obtained in high yields up to 99%. The reaction mechanism was also discussed and a NHCs-mediated O-alkylation and subsequent oxidation process was proposed.

The combination of norbornenyl-tagged (Nb-tagged) silica particles and functionalized Nb-tagged monomers for the generation of hybrid Si-ROMP reagents and scavengers is reported. Specifically Si-ROMP-derived bis-acid chloride, dichlorotriazine, and triphenylphosphine scavenger/reagents have been grafted from the surface of silica particles utilizing surface-initiated, ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). These hybrid polymeric materials combine the physical properties of current immobilized silica reagents and represent a key advancement in load by merging the inherent tunable properties of the ROMP-derived oligomers with silica supports for application in a parallel synthesis.
