| Abstract: | A copper‐catalyzed ketooxygenation of electron‐deficient alkenes was developed. This approach combines O?H alkylation, aerobic decarboxylation, and oxygenation in one transformation. Mechanistic investigation of this reaction showed that the copper salt is responsible for both generating the amidoxyl radical and promoting aerobic decarboxylation. |
