The chemoselectivity of visible-light-induced coupling reactions of bromoalkynes with alcohols can be controlled by simple changes to the reaction atmosphere.
A metal-free oxidative coupling reaction of trifluoromethyl β-diketones with alcohols for the synthesis of α-keto esters in good to excellent yields has been developed. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that an I2/TBHP promoted sequential iodination, C–C bond cleavage, C–O bond formation and oxidation pathway is involved in this reaction.
