This work describes a mild, environmentally friendly method to activate natural carboxylic acids for decarboxylative alkylation. After esterification of biomass-derived acids to N-(acyloxy)phthalimides, the active esters are cleaved reductively by photocatalysis to give alkyl radicals, which undergo C-C bond formation with electron-deficient alkenes. This reaction is catalyzed by the organic dye eosin gamma and green light (535 nm) and the scope of acids includes abundant amino acids, alpha-oxy acids and fatty acids which are available from renewable resources.
