Abstract

The merger of aerobic oxidative Cu catalysis with decarboxylative enolate interception enables a decarboxylative carbonyl α-arylation of arylboron nucleophiles with malonic acid derivatives. This method converts substrates containing electrophilic functional groups that are incompatible with existing α-arylation methods.
