Reagent-Free Esterification from Benzoyl Hydrazines and Alcohols under Electrochemical Conditions

Abstract

AbstractA scalable electrochemical esterification between aroylhydrazides and alcohols to give structurally versatile carboxylic esters was developed. This strategy features mild reaction conditions and a relatively broad substrate scope with good functional group compatibility. In addition, the transformation is operationally simple and free from external oxidants and mediating chemical reagents.
