Abstract

[IrCl (cod)] 2 catalyzed the oxidative esterification of a variety of aldehydes with methanol as a solvent in combination with K2CO3 under mild conditions (rt, 12h). The oxidative esterification reaction of aliphatic aldehydes also took place with olefinic alcohols as reagents in toluene under similar conditions.
