Isopropenyl esters (iPEs) and isopropenyl acetate (iPAc) are characterised by a tuneable reactivity in organic synthesis. Thanks to the irreversible formation of acetone in transesterification conditions, iPEs are eco‐friendly acylating agents and can be employed for direct biomass modification and/or tandem esterification‐acetalization reactions. C−C and C−X bond formation reactions occur selectively on the isopropenyl moiety via electrophilic and/or radical additions and/or metal‐ and/or photo‐catalyzed cross‐coupling reactions.
