A transition-metal-free and room-temperature coupling/decarboxylation reaction between α-oxocarboxylates and α-bromoketones is reported herein. It represents the first mild and regioselective synthesis of either 1,2- or 1,3-diketones from the same starting materials. Notably, the regioselectivity is simply controlled by solvents. The preliminary experimental data and DFT calculations suggest sequential
