Abstract

A facile, atom-economical, and efficient Cu(OAc)<sub>2</sub>-catalyzed oxidative esterification of substituted <i>p</i>-cresols was developed with ambient air as the terminal oxidant. This ligand- and additive-free esterification protocol allows an environmentally benign and reagent-economical access to benzyl esters.
