Not just one but two carbenes of the same structure act cooperatively in oxidative acylations of alcohols with aldehydes by using a readily available cheap organic oxidant. Alcohols are selectively acylated in the presence of amines by cooperative carbene catalysis. Quantum chemical calculations support the suggested mechanism.
在使用易得且廉价的有机氧化剂时，两种相同结构的卡宾协同作用，对醇和醛进行氧化酰化反应。在胺存在下，通过协同卡宾催化作用，醇可以选择性地酰化。量子化学计算支持所提出的机理。
