The base-catalyzed esterification of alcohols via retro-Claisen condensation has been demonstrated for the first time. A variety of alcohols including aryl- and heteroaryl methanols as well as aliphatic ones underwent efficient acylation to give the ester products in reasonable to good yields upon isolation. Not only conventional 1,3-diketones but also strong electron-withdrawing group containing acetophenones
