title: NHC/iron cooperative catalysis: aerobic oxidative esterification of aldehydes with phenols.
abstract: An NHC/iron cooperative catalytic system mediates the aerobic oxidative esterification of aldehydes with phenols. The use of equimolar amounts of reactants led to good to excellent isolated yields of esters.
