Cu(II)-catalyzed esterification reaction via aerobic oxidative cleavage of C(CO)-C(alkyl) bonds

A novel Cu(II)-catalyzed aerobic oxidative esterification of simple ketones for the synthesis of esters has been developed with wide functional group tolerance. This process is assumed to go through a tandem sequence consisting of alpha-oxygenation/esterification/ nucleophilic addition/C-C bond clea...

Summary:A novel Cu(II)-catalyzed aerobic oxidative esterification of simple ketones for the synthesis of esters has been developed with wide functional group tolerance. This process is assumed to go through a tandem sequence consisting of alpha-oxygenation/esterification/ nucleophilic addition/C-C bond cleavage and carbon dioxide is released as the only byproduct.
