The direct esterification of alcohols with non-noble metal-based catalytic systems faces great challenges. Here, we report a new chrome-based catalyst stabilized by a single pentaerythritol decorated Anderson-type polyoxometalate, [N(C4H9)4]3[CrMo6O18(OH)3C{(OCH2)3CH2OH}], which can realize the efficient transformation from alcohols to esters by H2O2oxidation in good yields and high selectivity without extra organic ligands. A variety of alcohols with different functionalities including some natural products and pharmaceutical intermediates are tolerated in this system. The chrome-based catalyst can be recycled several times and still keep the original configuration and catalytic activity. We also propose a reasonable catalytic mechanism and prove the potential for industrial applications.

The amide C-N cleavage has drawn a broad interest in synthetic chemistry, biological process and pharmaceutical industry. Transition-metal, luxury ligand or excess base were always vital to the transformation. Here, we developed a transition-metal-free hydrogen-bond-assisted esterification of amides with only catalytic amount of base. The proposed crucial role of hydrogen bonding for assisting esterification was supported by control experiments, density functional theory (DFT) calculations and kinetic studies. Besides broad substrate scopes and excellent functional groups tolerance, this base-catalyzed protocol complements the conventional transition-metal-catalyzed esterification of amides and provides a new pathway to catalytic cleavage of amide C-N bonds for organic synthesis and pharmaceutical industry.

CeO2 has been found to promote ester forming alcoholysis reactions of tertiary amides. The present catalytic system is operationally simple, recyclable, and it does not require additives. The esterification process displays a wide substrate scope (>45 examples; up to 93 % isolated yield). Results of a density functional theory (DFT) study combined with in situ FT-IR observations indicate that the process proceeds through rate limiting addition of a CeO2 lattice oxygen to the carbonyl group of the adsorbed acetamide species with energy barrier of 17.0 kcal/mol. This value matches well with experimental value (17.9 kcal/mol) obtained from analysis of the Arrhenius plot. Further studies by in situ FT-IR and temperature programmed desorption using probe molecules demonstrate that both acidic and basic properties are important, and consequently, CeO2 showed the best performance for the C?N bond cleavage reaction.

A convenient and efficient procedure for the construction of esters from stable sulfoxonium ylides and alcohols has been developed. This protocol presents a broad substrate scope and good yields of the desired esters can be isolated. Notably, no catalyst, oxidant, base or any other additive is required.
Aldehydes as potential acylating reagents for oxidative esterification by inorganic ligand-supported iron catalysis

The oxidative esterification of various aldehydes with alcohols could be achieved by a heterogeneous iron(iii) catalyst supported on a ring-like POM inorganic ligand under mild conditions, affording the corresponding esters, including several drug molecules and natural products, in high yields. ESI-MS and control experiments demonstrated that POM-FeV(O) was the active catalytic species and the plausible mechanism was presented. More importantly, the 6th run of the iron catalyst recycles shows only a slight decrease in the yield.
Synthesis, characterization and catalytic performances of benzimidazolin-2-iminato actinide (IV) complexes in the Tishchenko reactions for symmetrical and unsymmetrical esters
Liu, Heng,Khononov, Maxim,Fridman, Natalia,Tamm, Matthias,Eisen, Moris S.
, p. 123 - 137 (2017/10/25)
A new family of benzimdazolin-2-iminato actinide?(IV) complexes [(Bim7-MeDipp/MeN)An(N(SiMe3)2)3] (An = U (3), Th (4)) and [(Bim4-MeDipp/MeN)An(N(SiMe3)2)3] (An = U (5), Th (6)) were synthesized and their solid state structures were established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The catalytic performances of complexes 3–6 towards the homo- and cross-coupling of aldehydes (Tishchenko reaction) were studied and the thorium complexes 4 and 6 displayed moderate to high activities for the production of the corresponding symmetric and unsymmetrical esters. Coupling of aldehyde and alcohols, known as the tandem proton-transfer esterification, and the intermolecular coupling reaction between aldehyde and trifluoromethylketones were also investigated by these thorium complexes, indicating a complementary method to obtain unsymmetrical esters selectively. Plausible mechanisms for these reactions are proposed based on stoichiometric studies.

A nickel-catalyzed cross-dehydrogenative coupling reaction of α-C(sp3)-H bonds in N-methylamides with C(sp3)-H bonds from cyclic alkanes has been developed, which offers a cheap transition-metal-catalyzed C-H activation method for amides without the requirement for any extraneous directing group. This new strategy is highly selective and tolerates a variety of functional groups. Mechanistic investigations into the reaction process are also described in detail.

, p. 10025 - 10032 (2018/05/31)
An electrochemical method for the synthesis of carboxylic as well as hindered esters from N-alkoxyamides has been reported. The electrochemical reaction proceeds through constant current electrolysis (CCE) by taking advantage of the dual role of n-Bu4NI (TBAI) as the redox catalyst as well as the supporting electrolyte. Besides providing mild reaction conditions, the present protocol is free from external oxidants and conducting salts, thereby generating nitrogen as the nonhazardous side product. Additionally, the developed procedure is highly advantageous due to its short reaction time, wide substrate scope, and gram-scale synthesis.
