The conversion of ketones to esters has been achieved through the use of Cu catalyst and tetrabutylammonium nitrite. This reaction involves the activation of the less activated C-C bond, and the alkyl group is removed as a leaving group. Various isopropyl ketones are found to be good substrates for this reaction.

Compounds. -A new method is described for the synthesis of nitroarenes via Cu/amine-ligand catalyzed reaction of aromatic iodides and bromides with tetra-n-butylammonium nitrite. -(SAITO*, S.; KOIZUMI, Y.; Tetrahedron Lett. 46 (2005) 28, 4715-4717; Dep.
