N-HETEROCYCLIC CARBENE-MEDIATED OXIDATIVE ESTERIFICATION OF ALDEHYDES WITH ALCOHOLS UNDER AEROBIC CONDITION

摘要

This invention relates to an efficient, cheaper, practical and ambient protocol for the synthesis of wide variety of esters that proceeds with high yields in single step. More particularly, the invention relates to preparation of variety of esters by activating both aldehyde and alcohol with the help of catalytic amount of N-Heterocyclic carbine during the esterification.
