Research on Chemical Intermediates Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A simple and an efficient one-pot procedure has been developed to synthesize various aryl carboxylic esters directly from aryl aldehydes using hydrogen peroxide without any catalyst. The reaction proceeds smoothly at room temperature. A preliminary investigation suggests the formation of dialkyl acetal as an intermediate during the reaction sequence.
