An electrochemical On-Off method for phenolic ester synthesis from N-alkoxyamides has been reported. This one-pot protocol begins with rapid and selective electrodimerization of the amide using n-Bu4NI (TBAI) as an electrocatalyst. The reaction proceeds further in the absence of current via Zn catalyzed C?N bond activation of the amide dimer followed by its coupling with phenol to form the ester. The present methodology is ligand-free and takes place under mild reaction conditions. This transformation incorporates a wide variety of phenols and amide substrates leading to the formation of functionalized esters highlighting its versatility. (Figure presented.).

This work reports the first Pd/C catalyzed phenoxycarbonylation of aryl iodides using N-formylsaccharin as a CO surrogate. Advantageously, the reaction could be carried out in propylene carbonate, an environmentally benign and sustainable polar aprotic solvent under CO surrogacy. Using N-formylsaccharin as a CO surrogate allows the usage of cheaper and readily available phenols as the coupling partner. A range of phenyl esters could be synthesized under mild, co-catalyst free, ligand free and additive free conditions, including multi-substituted novel phenyl esters. The Pd/C catalyst could be recycled up to four times with only a slight loss in activity. The reaction could be scaled up to gram scale synthesis.
