Nickel-catalyzed reductive defunctionalization of esters in the absence of an external reductant: Activation of C-O bonds

The nickel-catalyzed reductive cleavage of esters in the absence of an external reductant, which involves the cleavage of an inert acyl C-O bond in O-Alkyl esters is reported. Various groups, such as N-containing heterocycles, esters, amides, and even arene rings can function as a directing group.

Metal-free aerobic oxidative esterification of aldehydes in the presence of cyanide

A metal-free aerobic oxidative esterification of aldehydes in the presence of cyanide is described. Various aromatic aldehydes and sterically congested alcohols were amenable to this protocol. In addition, this method could be extended to the preparation of thioesters with a thiol in place of an alcohol. Furthermore, the cyanide-mediated aerobic oxidation of aldehydes was applied to the synthesis of lactones via intramolecular esterification in the absence of an alcohol.
