We investigated the oxidative esterification of aldehydes with alcohols/phenols to produce a range of esters. In this approach, we conducted the reaction under metal‐free conditions at room temperature. The reactions were promoted by potassium fluoride (KF) as the additive, resulting in the desired product in good to high yields. This procedure was found to be effective for the production of aryl esters, which are challenging in most of the available reports. It is vital for this procedure not to exclude air as the source of oxygen.
