title = "Synthesis of Elongated Esters from Alkenes",
abstract = "A convenient method for synthesizing elongated aliphatic esters from alkenes is reported. An (alkoxycarbonyl)methyl radical species is generated upon visible-light irradiation of an ester-stabilized phosphorus ylide in the presence of a photoredox catalyst. This radical species adds onto the carbon–carbon double bond of an alkene to produce an elongated aliphatic ester.",
