Abstract

A metal-free visible-light-mediated decarboxylative acylation/ring expansion of vinylcyclobutanols with α-keto acids has been developed. Hypervalent iodine reagent was found to be important for promoting decarboxylation of α-keto acids in this tandem radical process. This protocol has been successfully applied to synthesis of a variety of substituted 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds and tolerated some functional groups well.
