We report multistep tandem oxidation process by Cs promoted mesoporous manganese oxides. Seven different functional groups (imine, imidazole, cyanide, amide, lactone, ester and olefin) are evolved from a single substrate (alcohol). A unique multiple esterification reaction from a single aliphatic alcohol is reported. The observed catalysis is truly heterogeneous and the catalyst can be reused without any loss of catalytic performance. The developed one pot protocol is versatile, cost effective, and environmentally benign.
