Figure 3. Scope of decarboxylative carbon–carbon bond formation.
Reaction conditions: FeCl3 (3.0 equiv), NaOAc (3.0 equiv), nucleophile (3.0 equiv), carboxylic acid (1.0 equiv), and CH2Cl2 (0.1 0 M). See supplemental information for experimental details. All yields are isolated yields. a10 equiv of the nucleophile. b20 equiv of the nucleophile. c50 equiv of the nucleophile. dNa2CO3 used as the base. eFe(OTf)3 used as the Fe(III) salt. f5 equiv of the nucleophile. gNa3PO4 used as the base. hAfter irradiation, the reaction was heated to 80°C for 16 h.
