Abstract
KI catalyzed C–H functionalization of acetone with hetero-aromatic carboxylic acids has been developed. With potassium iodide as catalyst and sodium chlorite as oxidant, cascade reaction including α-H electrophilic substitution of acetone and nucleophilic substitution of iodoacetone occur smoothly. 2-Oxopropyl hetero-aromatic carboxylates are obtained with the good to excellent yields.
