Abstract

Alkyl radicals were easily produced from secondary or tertiary alcohols in a cheap and simple way by silver-catalyzed decarboxylation of oxalic acid monoesters by S 2 O 8=. They were utilized for the alkylation of heteroaromatic bases in a two-phase system, with high yields and selectivity.
