Finally, with regards to decarboxylative benzylation (Figure ), multiple substituted benzyl bromides with either electron-donating groups (EDG) or electron-withdrawing groups (EWG) can be easily coupled. It is worth noting that the coupling of benzyl bromide 74 gave a cleaner reaction profile than the corresponding RAE 75. From a strategic perspective, access to benzyl halides (commercial or via radical halogenation of the corresponding methyl group) is easier than the corresponding aryl acetates in many cases (for example triazole 70).
