The solvent-free indium-promoted reaction of alkanoyl chlorides with sterically and electronically diverse arylstannanes is a simple and direct method for the regioselective synthesis of primary, secondary and tertiary ...

Sequential treatment of 2,3-dichloropropene with magnesium and n-BuLi generated the equivalent of 1,3- dilithiopropyne, which adds regiospecifically to aldehydes and ketones to produce homopropargyl alcohols. The ...

The gas-phase synthesis of aromatic ketones via acylation of phenol with acetic acid was studied on SiO2–Al2O3, Al-MCM-41, zeolites HY and ZSM5, and tungstophosphoric acid (HPA) supported on MCM-41 and carbon. At contact ...

A series of diaryl ketones have been synthesized in moderate to excellent yields through the selective cross-coupling reaction of benzoyl chlorides with arylstannanes using a sonochemical variation of the Stille coupling. ...

Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenases are recognized by their ability and high selectivity as oxidative biocatalysts for the generation of esters or lactones using ketones as starting materials. These enzymes represent valuable ...

Microwave irradiation promotes a quick aromatic nucleophilic substitution by a thermally induced electrontransfer process to form new C–C bonds by the coupling of aryl radicals and enolate nucleophiles. Diverse2-aryl-1-p ...
