CuI/trans-4-hydroxy-l-proline catalyzed coupling of aryl iodides with tert-butyl 尾-keto esters proceeded smoothly at 40聽掳C in DMF, providing 伪-aryl ketones after acid-promoted deprotection and decarboxylation of tert-butyl ester group. While CuI/2-picolinic acid catalyzed coupling of aryl iodides with tert-butyl acetoacetate at 70聽掳C in dioxane delivered 伪-arylacetic acid tert-butyl esters upon spontaneous deacylation. A wide range of functional groups, such as acetyl, methoxy, nitrile, nitro, bromo, and chloro were compatible with the reaction conditions.
