title: An insight into the mechanism of the aerobic oxidation of aldehydes catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbenes.
abstract: N-Heterocyclic carbene catalysis for the aerobic oxidation and esterification of aromatic aldehydes was monitored by ESI-MS (MS/MS) and the key intermediates were intercepted and characterized using the charge-tag strategy.
