Abstract
We have developed a direct photochemical cross-esterification of alcohols that proceeds via the in-situ generation of acyl bromides. The C-H bond of a benzyl alcohol is selectively activated by a bromo source under light irradiation, enabling the cross-esterification to afford a variety of functionalized esters.
