The crème de la crème! A practical and simple Bu 4 NI‐catalyzed CO bond formation was achieved by using a cross‐dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction with tert‐ butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as the ultimate oxidant (see scheme; R 1 =aryl, heteroaryl, alkyl; R 2 , R 3 =alkyl, alkyl halide). This approach is the most straightforward method to date for the synthesis of α‐acyloxy ethers. A plausible mechanism has been proposed.
