Abstract

A sonochemical procedure for direct oxidative esterification of aldehydes and alcohols using graphite oxide and Oxone in an alcoholic solvent is described. Mild reaction conditions, short reaction times, cost-effectiveness, and facile isolation of the products make the present system as a practical method.

Keywords: Alcohols; Aldehydes; Direct oxidative esterification; Graphite oxide; Oxone; Sonochemistry.
