چکیده
A highly efficient, broad scope, additive-free mild protocol for the oxidative carbene-catalysed esterification of aldehydes (including the related aqueous oxidation to acids) has been developed.

Aerobic oxidation of NHC-catalysed aldehyde esterifications with alcohols: benzoin, not the Breslow intermediate, undergoes oxidation.
Benzoin (and neither the Breslow intermediate nor the NHC-aldehyde tetrahedral adduct) has been unambiguously identified as the oxidised species in aerobic NHC-catalysed aldehyde esterifications.
متن کاملα-Aroyloxyaldehydes: scope and limitations as alternatives to α-haloaldehydes for NHC-catalysed redox transformations.
α-Aroyloxyaldehydes are readily prepared bench stable synthetic intermediates. Their ability to act as α-haloaldehyde surrogates for NHC-promoted redox esterifications and in [4+2] cycloadditions is described.
متن کاملNi-catalysed, domino synthesis of tertiary alcohols from secondary alcohols.
The use of in situ generated (NHC)-Ni catalytic species (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) allows for the synthesis, in short reaction times, of a variety of tertiary alcohols from secondary alcohols through a domino oxidation-addition protocol.
متن کاملOxidation and β-Alkylation of Alcohols Catalysed by Iridium(I) Complexes with Functionalised N-Heterocyclic Carbene Ligands.
The borrowing hydrogen methodology allows for the use of alcohols as alkylating agents for CC bond forming processes offering significant environmental benefits over traditional approaches. Iridium(I)-cyclooctadiene complexes having a NHC ligand with a O- or N-functionalised wingtip efficiently catalysed the oxidation and β-alkylation of secondary alcohols with primary alcohols in the presence...
متن کاملGold(I)-catalysed dehydrative formation of ethers from benzylic alcohols and phenols†
We report the cross-dehydrative reaction of two alcohols to form unsymmetrical ethers using NHC–gold(I) complexes (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene). Our progress in developing this reaction into a straightforward procedure is discussed in detail. The optimised methodology proceeds under mild reaction conditions and produces water as the sole by-product. The synthetic utility of this environmentall...
