We found that N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis promoted the unprecedented decarboxylative coupling of aryl aldehydes and tertiary or secondary alkyl carboxylic acid-derived redox-active esters to produce aryl alkyl ketones. The mild and transition-metal-free reaction conditions are attractive features of this method. The power of this protocol was demonstrated by the functionalization of pharmaceutical drugs and natural product. A reaction pathway involving single electron transfer from an enolate form of Breslow intermediate to a redox ester followed by recombination of the resultant radical pair to form a carbon-carbon bond is proposed.

The rotational mobility of organic guest molecules when included within a confined capsule is restricted and this feature could be translated into product selectivity as established with the photochemical behavior of cyclohexyl phenyl ketones. The Royal Society of Chemistry.
