tert-Butyl Peroxybenzoate-Promoted α-Methylation of 1,3-Dicarbonyl Compounds
摘要:
A tert-butyl peroxybenzoate (TBPB)-promoted direct a-methylation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds has been developed, providing alpha-methyl derivatives in moderate to good yields. In this procedure, TBPB plays a dual role, serving as both the methyl source and radical initiator. This work represents a key complement to the traditional alpha-methylation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds using methyl iodide.
