27. Gois reported that the combination of NHC and iron(II) could catalyze the reaction of aldehyde and phenol. Phenyl benzoate was isolated in 88% yield, see Ref 7.
28. 3 (84.8 mg, 4.0 equiv), and dry xylene (2 mL). The mixture was stirred at 100 °C for 24 h. After the completion of the reaction, as monitored by TLC, the solvent was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (300-400 mesh) with petroleum ether-EtOAc as eluent to give the product.
