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.
