Synthesis of Elongated Esters from Alkenes

Synthesis of Elongated Esters from Alkenes

A convenient method for synthesizing elongated aliphatic esters from alkenes is reported. An (alkoxycarbonyl)methyl radical species is generated upon visible‐light irradiation of an ester‐stabilized phosphorus ylide in the presence of a photoredox catalyst. This radical species adds onto the carbon–...

Description
Summary:A convenient method for synthesizing elongated aliphatic esters from alkenes is reported. An (alkoxycarbonyl)methyl radical species is generated upon visible‐light irradiation of an ester‐stabilized phosphorus ylide in the presence of a photoredox catalyst. This radical species adds onto the carbon–carbon double bond of an alkene to produce an elongated aliphatic ester. Stretching out: A convenient method for synthesizing elongated aliphatic esters from alkenes is reported. An (alkoxycarbonyl)methyl radical species is generated upon visible‐light irradiation of an ester‐stabilized phosphorus ylide in the presence of a photoredox catalyst. This radical adds to the carbon–carbon double bond of an alkene to produce an elongated aliphatic ester. ppy=2‐phenylpyridinato.
