The direct photochemical cross-esterification of alcohols <i>via</i> site-selective C–H bromination
We have developed a direct photochemical cross-esterification of alcohols that proceeds <i>via</i> the <i>in situ</i> 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.
