A rapid and efficient protocol assisted by microwave irradiation for the synthesis of esters using methanesulfonic acid (CH<sub>3</sub>SO<sub>3</sub>H) supported on Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> (AMA) as catalyst and free of solvent is described. The products were obtained in good yields and purity, with reduced reaction time, and the process is simple and environmentally benign.
