Copper-Catalyzed Methyl Esterification Reactions via C–C Bond Cleavage

The highly effective synthesis of methyl esters from benzylic alcohols, aldehydes, or acids via copper-catalyzed C–C cleavage from tert-butyl hydroperoxide is reported in this paper for the first time. Our protocol is easily accessible and practical, making it a possible supplement for the tradition...

Summary:The highly effective synthesis of methyl esters from benzylic alcohols, aldehydes, or acids via copper-catalyzed C–C cleavage from tert-butyl hydroperoxide is reported in this paper for the first time. Our protocol is easily accessible and practical, making it a possible supplement for the traditional way.
