Abstract

A highly efficient, mild, simple and clean procedure is presented for the one-pot oxidation of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes to their corresponding ethyl esters using benzyl chloride as the oxidant under palladium-catalyzed conditions. The reaction is complete in just 30min under microwave irradiation and inert conditions are not required to obtain good to excellent yields (65–93%) of isolated products.
