✦ Synopsis


Decarbonylation of the tertiary aldehydes 4-ethyl-4-formyl-hexanenitrile (2) and 2-methyl-2-phenylpropanal (4) promoted by dioxygen occurs at room temperature only if suspended in water probably via the sequential acyl radical-CO liberation-tertiary radical that is promoted by an 'on water' process originating preferentially from the corresponding tertiary hydroperoxide.

Herein we report an efficient method for synthesis of b-alkylated and b,b-dialkylated a-iodo enol ethers in water. Radical addition in aqueous medium of ethyl iodoacetate, iodoacetonitrile, and iodoacetamide to ynol ethers leads to a-iodo enol ethers with moderate to excellent yields and high stereo
