Copper‐catalyzed, one‐pot, three‐component coupling reactions using thiols, alcohols, and oxygen to form a variety of esters in good yields were studied. In the presence of easily oxidized benzylic and allylic alcohols, thiols were selectively oxidized to form thionoesters, which underwent facile S/O exchange to afford esters. Thiols may be used as an alternative benzoyl source under mild aerobic conditions.
