Mechanism of ester formation during decarboxylation with t-butyl hypochlorite and iodine

Abstract

Esters are formed from carboxylic acids and alkyl iodides upon treatment with t-butyl hypochlorite and iodine in carbon tetrachloride. Evidence is presented for a heterolytic mechanism whereby the iodine in the alkyl halide is replaced by the acyloxy-group of the acyl hypoiodite in the presence of iodine monochloride.
