Abstract

A highly efficient direct α-acyloxylation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with carboxylic acids is mediated by iodosobenzene. The reaction of various 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with carboxylic acids provides the corresponding α-acyloxylated products in good to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. The loading sequence of reactants and oxidant is crucial for the generation of the active species.
