Abstract

The use of aroyl peroxides as coupling partners enables a direct acyloxylation of the α-C(sp2)-H bond in tertiary β-enaminones under catalyst-free conditions and ambient temperature via a thermoinduced free-radical pathway. The present method offers an efficient synthesis of both acyloxylated chromones and enaminones.
