We consider a multiple tunneling process into a quantum dot capacitively coupled to a dissipative environment. The problem is mapped onto an anisotropic Kondo model in its Coulomb gas representation. The tunneling barrier resistance and the dissipative resistance of the environment correspond to the transverse and the longitudinal Kondo couplings respectively. We thus identify a line in the parameter space of the problem which corresponds to a zero-temperature Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless like phase transition. The physics of coupling to the environment is elucidated and experimental consequences of the predicted transition are discussed.
