Carboxylic acids are bench-stable and readily available chemical feedstocks that function as optimal fundamental synthetic platforms for the construction of C(sp3)–C(sp3) bonds via decarboxylation processes. We present a novel practical protocol decarboxylative alkylation Morita–Baylis–Hillman acetates with various carboxylic photoinduced iron-mediated ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) process under redox-neutral conditions. This method exhibits remarkable tolerance to wide array acids, including primary, secondary, tertiary obviating requirement preactivated radical precursors. The preliminary mechanistic analyses indicate pathway is involved in this catalytic transformation.
