Abstract

Abstract The tris (acetylacetonato) rhodium (III) catalyst is shown to be a versatile catalyst in the presence of DABCO (1, 4-diazabicyclo [2.2. 2] octane) as ligand for the α-alkylation of ketones followed by transfer hydrogenation, for the one-pot β-alkylation of secondary alcohols with primary alcohols and for the alkylation of aromatic amines in the presence of an inorganic base in toluene.
