Temperature-Governed Synthesis of Unsaturated Esters via a Domino Reaction of Aryl Carboxylic Acids with α, β-Dibromo Esters

Key Points

• To develop a mild, efficient synthesis of unsaturated esters using aryl carboxylic acids and α, β-dibromo esters.
• One pot, two steps synthesis
• Used aryl carboxylic acids and α, β-dibromo esters
• Conducted under mild conditions with various substrates
• Analyzed yields ranging from moderate to excellent
• Achieved yields of unsaturated esters up to 92%
• Synthesis accommodated a broad range of substrate types
• Temperature controlled the reaction pathway effectively
