The direct oxidation of alcohols to esters with molecular oxygen is an attractive and crucial process for the synthesis of fine chemicals. To date, the heterogeneous catalyst systems that have been identified are based on noble metals or have required the addition of base additives. Here, we show that Co nanoparticles embedded in nitrogen-doped graphite catalyze the aerobic oxidation of alcohols to esters at room temperature under base-free and atmospheric conditions. Our Co@C-N catalytic system features a broad substrate scope for aromatic and aliphatic alcohols as well as diols, giving their corresponding esters in good to excellent yields. This apparently environmentally benign process provides a new strategy with which to achieve selective oxidation of alcohols.

An efficient N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed oxidative esterification reaction of aldehydes with alkyl halides or alkyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate is reported. It was worth noting that (1) the configuration of alkyl halides or alkyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonates was inverted completely, and (2) the presence of oxygen was crucial for this transformation. The reaction proceeded smoothly under mild conditions and various esters were afforded in moderate to good yields. In addition, we have developed an efficient tandem oxidation/ esterification reaction of alcohols. This methodology provides a rare example of a reaction of the Breslow intermediate to sp3-carbon centered electrophiles. An efficient oxidative esterification reaction of aldehydes with alkyl halides or alkyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonates catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbenes is reported. Oxygenwas crucial for the reaction, and the configuration of alkyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate was completely inverted. Copyright
