Abstract

A copper iodide catalyzed reaction of aldehydes and t-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) was developed for the synthesis of peresters in the presence of bipyridine ligand under mild and neat conditions. The addition of bipyridine ligand increased the catalytic activities of copper catalyst significantly and triggered the reaction. The reaction showed good tolerance to various substrates, and good to excellent yields were obtained. Furthermore, a one-pot synthesis of allylic esters was also achieved by the addition of cyclohexene to the reaction mixture under neat condition at relative lower temperature.
