Abstract

A Ru-catalyzed carboxylate directed C-H allylation and iodolactonization of benzoic acids has been accomplished with Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts as the coupling partner in environmentally benign water as solvent. The redox-neutral conditions, use of water as a solvent, substrate scope, functional group tolerance, and mutation of natural products and drug molecules are the important practical features.
