A visible-light-induced deaminative alkylation of Katritzky salts with silyl enol ethers proceeds efficiently through electron donor-acceptor complex formation. A series of functionalized γ-ketoesters was successfully obtained with good functional group tolerance under mild, metal-free, and straightforward conditions.

Visible light irradiation promotes the synthesis of α-substituted γ-ketoester derivatives through carbene insertion and the decarbonylation of enaminones and diazoesters. These reactions use readily available starting materials and transition-metal-free, eco-friendly procedures that are amenable to gram-scale synthesis and wide functional group tolerance.
