Abstract

Cascade reactions, in which several bonds are formed in a chain of events without isolating the intermediate, have emerged as a powerful strategy for constructing complex molecules. 1 As part of a wider research program aimed at designing and developing a conceptually new class of onepot cascade processes, we became interested in the development of an oxidative esterification reaction. Despite the steadily growing interest in the synthesis of ...
