The esterification of activated amides, N -acylsaccharins, under transition-metal-free conditions with good functional group tolerance has been developed, resulting in C-N cleavage leading to efficient synthesis of a variety of esters in moderate to good yields. This work demonstrates that esterification may proceed by using simple N -acylsaccharins, haloalkanes, and Cs 2 CO 3 as oxygen source.

Fe-catalyzed aerobic oxidative esterifications of arylacetonitriles with alcohols, tri alkoxsilanes, silicate esters, or borate esters have been developed. The acyl groups which were in situ generated via chemoselective C(CO)-CN bond cleavage were directly used as electrophiles, leading to corresponding aryl esters in good to excellent yields under molecular oxygen when attacked by alcohols or alcohol surrogates. Dioxygen serves as both oxidant and reactant in this protocol. The reaction has a very broad substrate scope. Cheap starting materials as well as environmentally benign and inexpensive iron catalyst and ideal oxidant O2 feature this transformation and make it a practical and sustainable protocol to afford esters.

The oxidation of meta- and para-substituted aromatic acetals by N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) to the corresponding esters and alkyl bromide, is first-order in [NBS] and [acetal]. The effect of substituents in the aromatic ring of some aromatic acetals [X-C6H4CH(OBu-B) 2] {X = H, p-OMe, p-Me, p-Cl, p-NO2, m-OMe, m-CI, m-NO2} on the kinetics of above oxidation has been studied in acetonitrile medium at various temperatures by iodometric method. The rate of the reaction increases with the increase in the dielectric constant of the medium. The stoichiometry of the reaction is found to be 1 : 1. A primary kinetic isotopic effect kH/kD of 1.8 is observed, which indicates the C-H bond cleavage of the aldehydic carbon in the rate determining step. The Hammett reaction constant (a) for the reaction is found to be -1.38 and -1.42 at 313 K and 323 K respectively. The Exner plot is found to be linear with the isokinetic temperature 132 K. The kinetic and activation parameters Ea, A, ΔH≠, ΔG≠ and ΔS≠ have been calculated. A mechanism involving simultaneous loss of H+ from the aldehydic carbon and expulsion of bromide ion with the formation of carbonium ion intermediate is proposed.
