Abstract

Abstract The coupling of acyl electrophiles with organometallic reagents represents a convergent route toward complex and versatile ketone products. Despite the mild conditions and high functional group tolerance, the cross-coupling of carboxylic acid derivatives, such as thioesters, and secondary organometallic reagents is an underdeveloped transformation. Herein, we disclose a convenient and efficient protocol for the Pd-catalyzed Fukuyama ...
