Catalyst-free Decarboxylative Cross-Coupling of N-hydroxyphthalimide Esters with tert-Butyl 2-(trifluoromethyl)acrylate and Its Application

Here, we demonstrated a practical method toward the facile synthesis of CF3-containing amino acids through visible light promoted decarboxylative cross-coupling of redox-active ester with tert-butyl 2-(trifluoromethyl)acrylate. The reaction was driven...
