The iodine-promoted dimerization of enolates of methyl 2-arylacetates generated with tBuOK under equilibrium conditions is reported. The oxidative homocoupling reaction yields a mixture of dl and meso dimers with moderate to good yields and diastereoselectivity. Electron-withdrawing substituents on the aryl ring appear to facilitate dimerization for higher yields, and ortho-substituted aryl acetates provide better diastereoselectivity.
