C–C bond formation from alcohols and malonate half esters using borrowing hydrogen methodology
Graphical abstract
Alcohols have been used as alkylation agents in decarboxylative reactions with half malonates via a borrowing hydrogen pathway catalysed by readily available Ru(PPh3)3Cl2.

Hydrogen borrowing catalysis using 1° and 2° alcohols: Investigation and scope leading to α and β branched products
2021, TetrahedronCitation Excerpt :Since our study of the α-alkylation reaction had shown that di-ortho–methyl substitution of the aromatic ring was beneficial in preventing reduction of the ketone (by virtue of the aforementioned twisting effect), it seemed likely that these methyl groups were also preventing nucleophilic attack (Scheme 7A). In our search for alternative methods, we noted that the esterification of mesitoic acid under ordinary acid catalysis conditions is similarly challenging [18]. It is well-established that in order to overcome this problem, mesitoic acid is initially treated with conc.
