A simple and efficient trifluoroacetic acid mediated protocol for ortho-amidomethylation of phenols in aqueous medium has been described. Developed protocol has a good substrate scope, involves mild reaction conditions, and products are obtained in good yields. The quantum chemical calculations were performed in implicit solvent (water) conditions, which helped in tracing the reaction mechanism and
