Aromatic aldehydes with electron-withdrawing groups undergo rapid reactions with a variety of alcohols and secondary amines to afford the corresponding esters and amides, respectively, in high yields, when treated with NaCN or acetone cyanohydrin and base under ambient reaction conditions. In case of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, simultaneous reduction of the CC bond along with esterification occurred to produce the saturated esters in high yields.

Clear cut: For the title reaction, O2, the ideal oxidant, was used as the only oxidizing reagent. The dimer intermediate (see scheme) and isotopic labeling control experiments with 18O2 partially disclosed the reaction mec
