A novelfreeradical initiated ring expansion of haloalkyl β-keto esters is described. Following alkylation of the β-keto ester with the appropriate dihalide, the resulting halide is treated at reflux with tri-n-butyltin hydride. Rearrangement to the homologated γ-keto ester occurs smoothly. An oxy radical intermediate is proposed for the reaction.
Photoinducedelectrontransfer (PET) promoted decarboxylation of α-(ω-carboxyalkyl) β-keto esters undergoes radical ringexpansion and cyclization reactions. This mild and environmentally friendly method can provide one-carbon expanded γ-keto esters and bicyclic alcohols, and the product distribution is strongly dependent on the length of the alkyl chain containing the terminal carboxylate group.

The B12âTiO2 hybrid catalyst was effectively used for the radical reactions, such as 1,2-migrations of phenyl groups and acyl groups under irradiation by UV light, and the selectivity of the reaction was controlled by the solvent system.

Reactivities of tetraphenyldisilane (TPDS), tris(trimethylsilyl)silane, and tributyltin hydride in the radicalringexpansion of α-haloalkyl cyclic β-keto esters were examined. Among these reagents, TPDS was found most effective for the preparation of medium-sized cyclic compounds in terms of yields and ring-expansion/reduction selectivity.
