Recently in the context of our ongoing research work on d-ring steroids, [12] we reported a simple and efficient Michael addition reaction for the preparation of 1,5-diketones directly from conjugated enone and enamine. [13] Additionally, we employed α-bromoketone for a one-pot preparation of indolizines by a three component reaction. [14] Furthermore, α-bromoketones are recently employed for the preparation of 1,4-diketones via an aldol condensation reaction. [15] ...
