Pd-Catalyzed Aldehyde to Ester Conversion: A Hydrogen Transfer Approach
Aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes are successfully converted into their corresponding esters using Pd(OAc)<sub>2</sub> and XPhos. This approach utilizes a hydrogen transfer protocol: concomitant reduction of acetone to isopropanol provides an inexpensive and sustainable approach that mitigates the need for other oxidants
