Sample dynamic SQL:
DECLARE @MySprocParam VARCHAR(50) = 'TestAlias'
EXEC('SELECT ''ASDF'' AS [' + @MySprocParam + ']')
This works until you have a [ or ] or some other funky characters in your string. This is easy enough to overcome using quotename. It does require another variable though because you can't have a function call inside a function call.
DECLARE @MySprocParam VARCHAR(50) = '[TestAlias]'
declare @sql nvarchar(Max) = 'SELECT ''ASDF'' AS ' + quotename(@MySprocParam)
EXEC(@sql)
