Abstract
In a rhenium-catalyzed oxyalkylation of alkenes, hypervalent iodine(III) reagents derived from widely occurring aliphatic carboxylic acids were not only an oxygenation source but also an alkylation source via decarboxylation. The reaction offers a wide substrate scope, totally regiospecific difunctionalization, mild reaction conditions, and ready availability of both substrates.
