The decarboxylative alkylation of N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) based reactive esters with olefins has been achieved via an organocatalytic strategy. Control experiments and density functional theory calculations suggest that these reactions involve a boryl-radical mediated decarboxylation pathway, which is different from the single electron transfer involved in decarboxylative alkylation reactions reported previously. This metal-free decarboxylative alkylation reaction features good functional compatibility, and broad substrate scope illustrated by the transformations of both the alkyl and aryl carboxylic acid derivatives.

Substituted Hantzsch esters can act as radical reservoirs in photoredox reactions, steadily releasing a carbon radical and a hydrogen atom radical in the absence of an additional electron acceptor. We propose that radical release by substituted Hantzsch esters occurs via a mechanism involving an internal redox cycle. Cinnamidecinnamides, styrenes, α,β-unsaturated acids, and diarylethenes could be alkylated smoothly with these reagents. (Figure presented.).
