N-heterocyclic carbene-mediated oxidative electrosynthesis of esters in a microflow cell

An efficient N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-mediated oxidative esterification of aldehydes has been achieved in an undivided microfluidic electrolysis cell at ambient temperature. Productivities of up to 4.3 g h?1 in a single pass are demonstrated, with excellent yields and conversions for 19 examples...
