Abstract
Transitions: The title reaction has been developed for the synthesis of a variety of tert-butyl benzoates by employing 1,10-phenanthroline as an additive. Various functional groups were tolerated and heteroaryl iodides were also suitable substrates. Preliminary mechanism studies were conducted and indicate the participation of radical intermediates.
