title: A convenient method for the preparation of inverted tert-alkyl carboxylates from chiral tert-alcohols by a new type of oxidation-reduction condensation using 2,6-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone.
abstract: Oxidation-reduction condensation using in situ-formed alkoxydiphenylphosphines, 2,6-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone, and carboxylic acids provided a new and efficient method for the preparation of inverted tert-alkyl carboxylates from various chiral tertiary alcohols.
