Senaweera, Sameera published the artcileDecarboxylative Acetoxylation of Aliphatic Carboxylic Acids, Synthetic Route of 140-11-4, the main research area is photocatalytic decarboxylative acetoxylation aliphatic carboxylic acid copper acetate.
Organic mols. bearing acetoxy moieties are important functionalities in natural products, drugs, and agricultural chems. Synthesis of such mols. via transition metal-catalyzed C-O bond formation can be achieved in the presence of a carefully chosen directing group to alleviate the challenges associated with regioselectivity. An alternative approach is to use ubiquitous carboxylic acids as starting materials and perform a decarboxylative coupling. Herein, we report conditions for a photocatalytic decarboxylative C-O bond formation reaction that provides rapid and facile access to the corresponding acetoxylated products. Mechanistic investigations suggest that the reaction operates via oxidation of the carboxylate followed by rapid decarboxylation and oxidation by Cu(OAc)2.
