Abstract

We report a useful method for the facile synthesis of aromatic esters from benzyl alcohols with molecular oxygen and catalytic tetrabromomethane in alcohol under visible light irradiation with a fluorescent lamp. This is the first metal-free reaction using molecular oxygen as the terminal oxidant.
