Decarboxylative chlorination of various aromatic and aliphatic carboxylic acids is performed successfully by the photolysis of their benzophenone oxime esters in carbon tetrachloride and corresponding chloro compounds are prepared in good yields.High selective generation of the certain radical and efficiency of the stable radical precursor, benzophenone oxime ester, afford much advantage for radical chemistry.
