<sup> <i>n</i> </sup> Bu <sub>4</sub> NBr-catalyzed esterification of methoxyarenes with acyl bromide
The catalytic esterification of methoxyarenes remains challenging, especially for C(sp<sup>3</sup>)-O bond functionalization. Herein, we report a simple and efficient method using <sup><i>n</i></sup>Bu<sub>4</sub>NBr as a catalyst to directly convert methoxyarenes and acyl bromides into esters under solvent-free conditions. This strategy provides a simple and efficient approach, achieving yields of up to 95%.
