OXIDATIVE ESTERIFICATION OF TOLUENE WITH RECOVERABLE COPPER MAGNETIC NANOPARTICLES IN PRESENCE OF 1,3-DARBONYL COMPOUNDS

Toluene oxidation is one of the substantial industrial technology since oxidized products are extraordinary industrially intermediates. A Fe3O/Cys/Cu-catalyzed reaction that uses TBHP as oxidant to produce esters from toluene and β-diketones or β-keto esters, enolate precursors, has been developed. Oxidative esterification of toluene with 1, 3-dicarbonyl derivatives led to C - O bond formation and direct C-H functionalization.
