Abstract
A sustainable synthesis of esters? The recent report of the selective intermolecular crossed-Tishchenko reaction is a major advancement of this textbook reaction. In the presence of a Ni-NHC catalyst (NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene), various benzyl esters of aliphatic acids can be synthesized with perfect atom economy from 1:1 mixtures of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes.
