Oxidative C–H Acyloxylation of Acetone with Carboxylic Acids under Iodine Catalysis

Abstract

Iodine-catalyzed oxidative C(sp³)–H acyloxylation of acetone with carboxylic acids has been developed. The method employs iodide­ as catalyst and sodium chlorite as oxidant. Substituted benzoic acids, naphthoic acids and heteroaromatic carboxylic acids can be used, and 2-oxopropyl carboxylates are obtained with good to excellent yields.

Key words

iodine - oxidative C–H functionalization - acetone - carboxylic acids - carboxylates
