A cheap, facile and metal-free photochemical protocol for the activation of aromatic aldehydes has been developed. Utilizing thioxanthen-9-one as the photocatalyst and cheap household lamps as the light source, a variety of aromatic aldehydes have been activated and subsequently converted in a one-pot reaction into amides, hydroxamic acids and esters in good to high yields. The applicability of this method was highlighted in the synthesis of Moclobemide, a drug against depression and social anxiety. Extended and detailed mechanistic studies have been conducted, in order to determine a plausible mechanism for the reaction.

N-Aroylbenzotriazoles have been shown to be efficient reagents for esterification in the absence of organic solvent. Grinding of N-aroylbenzoytiazoles with twofold excess of alcohols for a couple of hours at room temperature gave corresponding esters in high percentage of yields.

A metal-, oxidant-, and additive-free conversion of hydroxamates to esters have been achieved using molecular iodine as the reagent using a novel but not-so-explored heron-type rearrangement. The reaction proceeds with almost equal facility with substrates having either electron-donating or electron-withdrawing substituent. Similarly, α,?-unsaturated, and sterically hindered ortho-substituted hydroxamates also undergo the desired transformation smoothly.
