Abstract

Abstract CuI/trans-4-hydroxy-l-proline catalyzed coupling of aryl iodides with tert-butyl β-keto esters proceeded smoothly at 40 C in DMF, providing α-aryl ketones after acid-promoted deprotection and decarboxylation of tert-butyl ester group. While CuI/2-picolinic acid catalyzed coupling of aryl iodides with tert-butyl acetoacetate at 70 C in dioxane delivered α- arylacetic acid tert-butyl esters upon spontaneous deacylation. A wide range of functional ...
