Abstract
A metal‐free oxidative esterification or thio‐esterification of readily available substituted malononitrile and alcohol or thiol has been developed by simply mixing α‐substituted malononitrile and alcohol or thiol in the presence of base under a molecular oxygen atmosphere. Sterically hindered ester or thioester can be prepared efficiently.
