A catalytic system for the oxidation of benzylic ethers to esters has been developed utilizing reusable MnO_x-N@C as catalyst and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as benign oxidant under neat condition. The catalytic oxidation system has good functional groups tolerance and excellent chemoselectivity, and this catalytic procedure can also be scaled up.
