摘要

Carboxylic acids were converted directly in 56–99% yields into methyl, n-butyl, and isopropyl ketones using excess cyanocuprates R2CuLi· LiCN. A substrate with a stereocenter α to the carboxylic acid was converted into ketones with very little loss of enantiomeric purity. A variety of functional groups were tolerated including aryl bromides. This direct transformation of a carboxylic acid into ketone with minimal tertiary alcohol ...
