A simple and efficient copper-catalysed procedure for oxidative esterification of aldehydes with alcohols and phenols mediated by sodium cyanide, using air as a clean oxidant, is described. A variety of aromatic aldehydes and structurally different alcohols and phenols reacted efficiently, and the product esters were obtained in good to excellent yields under normal atmospheric and solvent-free conditions.
