title: Decarboxylative Csp(3)-Csp(3) coupling for benzylation of unstable ketone enolates: synthesis of p-(acylethyl)phenols.
abstract: A new decarboxylative Csp(3)-Csp(3) coupling approach for the benzylation of ketone enolates has been developed. A variety of raspberry ketone derivatives were conveniently synthesized in good to excellent yields under mild conditions. A crossover reaction shed light on the mechanism of this tandem reaction.
