title: Cyclic ethers to esters and monoesters to bis-esters with unconventional coupling partners under metal free conditions via sp(3) C-H functionalisation.
abstract: An efficient metal free oxidative esterification of sp(3) C-H bonds (adjacent to an oxygen atom) in simple solvents like 1,4-dioxane, tetrahydropyran, tetrahydrofuran and ethyl acetate has been achieved using terminal aryl alkenes and alkynes as the ArCOO(-) sources.
