Copper-catalyzed decarboxylative C(sp2)–C(sp3) coupling reactions via radical mechanism

Abstract

We have successfully developed an example of copper-catalyzed decarboxylative C(sp(2))-C(sp(3)) coupling reactions via C-H functionalization for the first time. It is noteworthy that our catalytic system is very stable, low-cost, palladium-free, ligand-free, and easily accessible.
