Many kinds of heteroaromatic bases were easily alkylated by the reaction of carboxylic acids with benzene or pentafluorobenzene via radical decarboxylative pathways.This system was further applied to the reaction with tetrahydrofurylcarboxylic acid, 1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl)-D-ribofuranosylacetic acid, and 1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl)-D-ribofuranosylcarboxylic acid for the model synthesis of C-nucleosides.
