Abstract

Ester groups generally exist in bulk chemicals, fine chemicals, natural products and polymers, and are known to be highly important and abundant functional groups in organic synthesis.[1] The direct transformation of aldehydes to esters under mild conditions is a useful transformation, especially in the synthesis of different natural products.[2] However, current protocols to esterify an aldehyde with an alcohol require oxidation to the acid in ...
