Abstract
An efficient methodology to access benzoate derivatives via tandem benzylic oxidation/oxidative esterification of benzylic alcohols with phenols catalyzed by ruthenium/NHC was developed. This operationally simple one-pot process uses O2 as the clean oxidant, producing esters in good to excellent yields.
