Decarboxylative ketone aldol reactions: development and mechanistic evaluation under metal-free conditions.

Malonic acid half thioesters (MAHTs) and malonic acid half oxyesters (MAHOs) are shown to undergo decarboxylative nucleophilic addition reactions with ketone and aldehyde electrophiles in the presence of stoichiometric or catalytic quantities of triethylamine at room temperature. The ability to perf...
