A novel strategy to selective cleavage and esterification of C(CO)−C bonds is described. The efficient approach showed a prominent merit compared to previously reported systems, without high temperature, high pressure, inert gas protection, and transition‐metal free. Meanwhile, a rational C−C bond cleavage possible mechanism is proposed by the control experiments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
