4-Dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) is shown to undergo Pd/PtBu3 catalyzed coupling with aryl halides and carbon monoxide to form electrophilic aroyl-DMAP salts. The reaction is easily scalable to prepare multigram quantities with low catalyst loadings, while the precipitation of these salts as they form leads to products with low impurities. These reagents rapidly react with a variety of nucleophiles, including those that contain potentially incompatible functional groups under standard carbonylative conditions.

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.
