Oxidizing aromatics: We report an operationally simple and green catalytic oxidative esterification approach that selectively converts methyl aromatics to aromatic carboxylates utilizing a highly stable, active, and reusable heterogeneous bimetallic Au–Pd catalyst and molecular oxygen as benign oxidant without requiring any additives.
