Sterically hindered three-dimensional (3D) alkyl halides are promising precursors for various reactions; however, they are difficult to synthesize via conventional reactions. We present an efficient and practical method for decarboxylative bromination of sterically hindered 3D aliphatic carboxylic acids using commercially available (diacetoxyiodo)benzene and potassium bromide, one of the most stable and cheapest bromine sources in nature. The present method features a metal-free/Br2-free system, mild reaction conditions, one-pot operation under air at room temperature, wide functional group compatibility, and gram-scale synthetic capability. This highly efficient reaction cleanly converts a broad range of carboxylic acids, the most inexpensive and readily available sources of highly strained/naturally occurring/drug-related scaffolds, into the corresponding alkyl bromides in good to high yields.

The use of copper catalysis with visible light photoredox catalysis in a cooperative fashion has recently emerged as a versatile means of developing new C-C bond forming reactions. In this work, dual copper and photoredox catalysis is exploited to effect C(sp2)-C(sp3) cross-couplings between aryl boronic acids and benzyl bromides.

To improve access to a key synthetic intermediate we targeted a direct hydrobromination-Negishi route. Unsurprisingly, the anti-Markovnikov addition of HBr to estragole in the presence of AIBN proved successful. However, even in the absence of an added initiator, anti-Markovnikov addition was observed. Re-examination of early reports revealed that selective Markovnikov addition, often simply termed "normal" addition, is not always observed with HBr unless air is excluded, leading to the rediscovery of a reproducible and scalable initiator-free protocol.
