Abstract

A simple and efficient procedure for trimerization of aromatic aldehydes mediated by potassium cyanide is described. A variety of aromatic aldehydes reacted efficiently and the corresponding oxidative esterification products were obtained in good to excellent yields in the absence of oxidant, solvent and metal species.
