Decarboxylative substitution of β-keto acids to benzylic alcohols catalyzed by molecular iodine

Abstract

An efficient method for molecular iodine catalyzed decarboxylative substitution of β-keto acids with benzylic alcohols under mild conditions has been described and valuable α-functionalized ketones were obtained in good to excellent yields.
