An effective method for the construction of esters from acyl chloride and halohydrocarbon using Cs2CO3 as an oxygen source has a wide scope of substrates and can be scaled up. This esterification proceeds through a free radical reaction. CO2 can also be used as an oxygen source.

The chemoselective ring opening of N-tosyl aziridines with aldehydes catalyzed by an N-heterocyclic carbene gave carboxylates of 1,2-amino alcohols. A plausible mechanism for this reaction is discussed.
