Abstract
A previously elusive organocatalytic protocol for the esterification of amides is disclosed. DABCO (10 mol%) is identified as an effective catalyst for the esterification of N-pivaloyl amides. Although N-pivaloyl amides are nearly planar (amide bond twist (τ) = 4.54° and pyramidalization (χN = 6.39°)) and resonance stabilized, esterification is achieved with high efficiency. The developed protocol is generic, phenols, thiophenols, aliphatic alcohols, and thiols were identified as effective substrates. Furthermore, the reaction features a broad substrate scope and excellent functional group tolerance. To exemplify the practical applicability of the developed protocol, the esterification of bioactive natural products, pterostilbene and menthol, is demonstrated. In addition, a series of competitive experiments were conducted to establish the reactivity pattern of alcohols, thiols, and phenols, which could serve as selectivity principles for future synthetic design. Our findings signify a notable advancement in utilizing amides as versatile synthetic building blocks in organic synthesis under metal-free conditions.

Abstract
A practical and efficient synthesis of aryl esters was developed through metal-free oxidation. This reaction employs stable and readily available acyl or sulfonyl chlorides and arylboronic acids as the starting materials and proceeds under mild reaction conditions without additional precious metal catalysts. This new strategy exhibits broad substrate tolerance and operational simplicity and gives diverse aryl esters in moderate to high yields.

Abstract
Esters and their derivatives are distributed widely in natural products, pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals and other fields. Esters are important building blocks in pharmaceuticals such as clopidogrel, methylphenidate, fenofibrate, travoprost, prasugrel, oseltamivir, eszopiclone and fluticasone. Therefore, esterification reaction becomes more and more popular in the photochemical field. In this review, we highlight three types of reactions to synthesize esters using photochemical strategies. The reaction mechanisms involve mainly single electron transfer, energy transfer or other radical procedures.

Abstract
Electrochemistry has been successfully applied in metal catalysis to avoid the usage of chemical redox agents. This strategy proved to be a powerful approach to construct carbon-carbon (C-C) and carbon-heteroatom (C-X) bonds. However, most of the developed methods are based on either anodic oxidation or cathodic reduction, in which a sacrificial reaction occurs at the counter electrode. Paired electrolysis merging with metal catalysis is underdeveloped, wherein both anodic and cathodic processes are taking place simultaneously. Herein, we demonstrated that by using esterification of carboxylic acids with aryl halides via paired electrolysis using nickel as the catalyst the respective aryl esters were obtained in good to excellent yields at room temperature in an undivided electrochemical cell.
