| Abstract: | The L-proline-catalyzed oxidation of aliphatic primary alcohols with N-bromosuccimide (NBS) in water at room temperature to afford the corresponding dimeric esters in good to excellent yields was described. This pathway of dimeric esterification was proved to be very simple and environmentally friendly. |
