A mild protocol for the conversion of β-ketoesters and β-diketones to carboxylic acids with use of CAN in CH3CN is described. The method is compatible with a number of functional groups, and can generate carboxylic acids under neutral conditions at room temperature. The reaction is fast and general, providing an alternative method to the commonly used malonicester acid preparation. Initial mechanistic
