The synthesis of new alkenyl iodobenzoate derivatives as allylic esters was investigated via the reaction of tert-butyl iodobenzoperoxoate with alkenes in the presence of copper salts. The best result was obtained using tert-butyl-iodobenzoperoxoate in the presence of copper (I) iodide (5 mol%) in refluxingacetonitrile with good yield (92%) in 32 h. The structure of peresters and alkenyl iodobenzoate derivatives were characterized on the basis of their FT-IR, 1HNMR, 13CNMR, and Mass spectra
