Abstract

The reaction of cinnamic acids with (diacetoxyiodo)benzene in 1,2-dichloroethane in the presence of sulfuric acid provides an easy and direct access to the α-keto diacetate framework. This hypervalent iodine mediated oxidative reaction involves a tandem sequence of aryl migration, insertion of an oxygen atom, decarboxylation and diacetoxylation. A reaction mechanism is proposed and discussed in light of control experiments.
