Abstract

Photochemical alkylation with aliphatic carboxylic acids is an intriguing method not only in synthetic chemistry but also in mechanistic photochemistry. As a most promising candidate for the alkylation, an electron donor-acceptor (EDA) system is proposed in the photochemical reaction. The EDA-type photodecarboxylation of carboxylic acids has been explored by Davidsonl and Libman.2 The carboxylic acids used were limited to the acids having a 0-heteroatom ...
