In order to better understand the reaction mechanism and to obtain optimal conditions, the Ph3P-I2/Et3N mediated aryl esterification reaction was thoroughly investigated. Using a specific reagent addition sequence, the reaction proceeds remarkably well especially with acidic substrates. 31P NMR studies revealed that the formation of an aryloxyphosphonium salt is crucial in governing the reaction path toward the formation of phenolic esters.
