title: Transesterification for synthesis of carboxylates using aldehydes as acyl donors via C-H and C-O bond activations.
abstract: A new type of transesterification between aryl, heteroaryl, alkyl N-heteroarene-2-carboxylates and various aldehydes by C-H and C-O bond activations has been developed for the synthesis of versatile carboxylates. A possible mechanism containing oxidative addition of acyl-O bond in parent ester and radical cleavage of sp(2) C-H bond in aldehyde is proposed.
