The first iron-catalyzed esterification of the primary benzylic C-H bonds with carboxylic acids using di-tert-butyl peroxide as an oxidant is achieved by novel ionic iron(III) complexes containing an imidazolinium cation. The use of well-defined, air-stable, and available iron(III) complex in a 5 mol % loading and readily available starting materials with a broad generality and outstanding sterically hindered tolerance renders this methodology a useful alternative to other protocols that are typically employed for the synthesis of benzyl esters.
A relative organolithium stability scale derived from tin-lithium exchange equilibria. Substituent effects on the stability of α-oxy- and α-aminoorganolithium compounds

Quantitative thermodynamic stability scales of organolithium compounds can be derived from measurements of tin-lithium exchange equilibria. A ΔGeq scale of α-oxy- and α-aminoorganolithium compounds was established, and quantitative stabilization effects of O-alkyl, O-alkoxyalkyl, O-carbamoyl, N-carbamoyl, and O-carbonyl groups of the α-carbanion are presented. It has been found that an α-oxycarbanion is far better stabilized by a carbonyl group as the O-substituent than by an alkyl or alkoxyalkyl group, while the anion-stabilizing effects of the different O-carbonyl substituents are comparable. An N-carbamoyl group was found to have a somewhat higher stabilizing effect than its O-carbamoyl counterpart. NMR data are presented that show that benzylic N- or O-substituted carbanions have highly planarized structures where the negative charge is highly delocalized. The stability data obtained from the tin-lithium exchanges can be easily converted into "effective pK" data that are useful for predicting the acid-base behavior of this type of organolithium species.
