An environmentally benign and highly versatile catalytic protocol has been successfully applied in the intermolecular bromoesterification between various olefins and carboxylic acids. The use of a highly lipophilic indole catalyst and 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DBDMH) as the bromine source allows the reaction to proceed in heptane via a solid-liquid phase transfer mechanism, affording the corresponding bromoester products in good-to-excellent yields.
