Abstract

A novel free radical initiated ring expansion of haloalkyl β-keto esters is described. Following alkylation of the β-keto ester with the appropriate dihalide, the resulting halide is treated at reflux with tri-n-butyltin hydride. Rearrangement to the homologated γ-keto ester occurs smoothly. An oxy radical intermediate is proposed for the reaction.
