ABSTRACT: Recent
investigations have shown the oxone-mediated oxidative methyl esterification of
benzaldehyde derivatives using methanol. The reactions were accelerated in the
presence of indium(III) triflate, a trivalent
indium reagent, in many cases. Based on this method of methyl
esterification of benzaldehyde derivatives, we further explored an application
to heterocyclic aldehydes. The reactions were examined using methanol as well
as other alcohols in order to establish a suitable range.
