Abstract

Abstract : This review describes various methods for the synthesis of eleven classes of esters involving sp 3 C–H functionalisation. Abstract : Oxidative C–O bond formation via sp 3 C–H functionalisation represents an attractive approach for the synthesis of esters. This review focuses on the recent advances of sp 3 C–H bond functionalisation strategies for ester synthesis from unconventional precursors using transition metal/metal free catalysts in combination with various oxidants. Various classes of esters and the mechanisms of their formation are discussed with numerous examples.
