title: Copper-catalyzed methyl esterification reactions via C-C bond cleavage.
abstract: The highly effective synthesis of methyl esters from benzylic alcohols, aldehydes, or acids via copper-catalyzed C-C cleavage from tert-butyl hydroperoxide is reported in this paper for the first time. Our protocol is easily accessible and practical, making it a possible supplement for the traditional way.
