Abstract
Isopropenyl esters (iPEs) and isopropenyl acetate (iPAc) are characterised by a tuneable reactivity in organic synthesis. Thanks to the irreversible formation of acetone in transesterification conditions, iPEs are eco-friendly acylating agents and can be employed for direct biomass modification and/or tandem esterification-acetalization reactions. C−C and C−X bond formation reactions occur selectively on the isopropenyl moiety via electrophilic and/or radical additions and/or metal- and/or photo-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions.
