Abstract

A tetrabutylammonium iodide catalyzed method has been developed for the one-pot synthesis of allylic and benzylic esters from α-oxo carboxylic acids and alkenes/alkylbenzenes via decarboxylation and C–H bond activation. Various allylic and benzylic esters were obtained in good yield.

Key words

metal free - one-pot synthesis - decarboxylation - C–H bond activation - tetrabutylammonium iodide catalysis
