Abstract

In situ treatment of 4-(2,2-dibromovinyl)phenol, which was prepared from 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and carbon tetrabromide in CH2Cl2 under Corey–Fuchs conditions, with a diverse range of acids in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) gave the corresponding esters in high yields.
