A novel catalytic system with a tripodal cobalt complex is developed for efficiently converting primary alcohols to esters. KO'Bu is found essential to the transformation. A preliminary mechanistic study suggests a plausible reaction route that involves an initial Co-catalyzed dehydrogenation of alcohol to aldehyde, followed by a Tishchenko-type pathway to ester mediated by KO'Bu.
