title: An Effective Method for the Construction of Esters Using Cs2CO3 as Oxygen Source.
abstract: An effective method for the construction of esters from acyl chloride and halohydrocarbon using Cs2CO3 as an oxygen source was achieved for the first time. The methodology has a wide scope of substrates and can be scaled up. The study of a preliminary reaction mechanism demonstrated that the O in the products comes from Cs2CO3 and this esterification proceeds through a free radical reaction. It was also found that CO2 can also be used in this esterification reaction as an oxygen source.
