We report the dehydrogenative synthesis of esters from enol ethers using water as the formal oxidant, catalyzed by a newly developed ruthenium acridine-based PNP(Ph)-type complex. Mechanistic experiments and density functional theory (DFT) studies suggest that an inner-sphere stepwise coupled reaction pathway is operational instead of a more intuitive outer-sphere tandem hydration-dehydrogenation pathway.

The use of readily available ethyl acetate in the presence of iodine as an alternative acetylating agent is reported. Amines and phenols were unreactive under the examined reaction conditions, indicating that the method is highly chemoselective.

A new sulfonic acid containing ionic-liquid-based periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO-IL-SO3H) material was prepared and its catalytic application was investigated in the esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols. The PMO-IL-SO3H nanocatalyst was first characterized with diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and nitrogen sorption analysis. Then, the catalytic performance of this material was studied in the esterification of carboxylic acids with short- and long-chain aliphatic alcohols, cyclic alcohols, and benzylic alcohols under solvent-free conditions. The results showed that the catalyst has superior activity for the conversion of several alcohols to afford the corresponding ester products in excellent yields and high purity. Moreover, the catalyst could be recovered and reused several times without a significant decrease in activity and product selectivity. Copyright
