Tungsten promoted decarboxylative oxygenation and ring-opening via ligand-to-metal charge transfer
Abstract
A decarboxylative oxidation and ring-opening protocol of carboxylic acids via tungsten-catalyzed photoinduced ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) is described. This reaction enables the preparation of carbonyl and 1, n-dicarbonyl compounds. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of tungsten catalyzed decarboxylative functionalization reactions.
