A metal-free oxidative esterification or thio-esterifica-tion of readily available substituted malononitrile and alcohol or thiol has been developed by simply mixing α-substituted malononitrile and alcohol or thiol in the presence of base under a molecular oxygen atmosphere. Sterically hindered ester or thioester can be prepared efficiently.
