A direct and catalytic dehydrative esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols is described. B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 is shown to be a highly effective catalyst for the Fischer esterification, providing esters in high to excellent yields. This esterification shows excellent chemo‐ and site‐selective monoesterification of various polyols without any protection step, including bio‐derived molecule glycerol.
