Abstract

A new application of NBS, which results in the oxidative coupling of β‐keto esters to selectively form C‐C single and C˭C double bonds, can be controlled by the amount of NBS and t‐BuOK employed. This methodology adds a new entry to C‐C single and C˭C double‐bond formation between active methylene groups under mild conditions with high selectivity.
