Abstract
In this account, we summarized our recent progress in transition-metal-catalyzed esterification via different pathways, including lactonization, Chan-Lam reaction, oxidative esterification and C-H functionalization.
1 Introduction
2 Esterification of Aldehyde with Aryl Boron
2.1 Aromatic Esterification Reaction between Aldehydes and Arylboronic Acids
2.2 Cascade Aryl Addition-Lactonization of Phthalaldehyde with Aryl Boron
2.3 Cascade Aryl Addition-Lactonization of Phthalaldehydonitrile with Arylboronic Acids
3 Esterification of Carboxylic Acid via Chan-Lam Reaction
4 Bis-esterification of Cyclic Anhydrides with Alkoxysilanes
5 Oxidative Esterification of Aldehydes or Benzylic Alcohols with Phenols
6 Ester Formation via C-H Functionalization
6.1 Benzoxylation of C-H Bonds with Carboxylic Acids
6.2 Benzoxylation of 2-Arylpyridine sp² C-H Bonds with Anhydrides
6.3 Benzoxylation of 2-Arylpyridine sp² C-H Bonds with Acyl Chlorides
7 Conclusion
Key words
esterification - transition metals - catalysis - esters - C-H functionalization
