Abstract

Pd-catalysed reaction of arylmercury compounds with α, β-enones in an acidic two-phase system provides a mild and selective way to β-aryl ketones. The present conjugate addition type reaction may accommodate a wide variety of functional groups. Thus, aryl units containing electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents such as-Me,-Cl,-CHO,- COMe,-COOMe,-COOH,-OH,-OMe,-NHCOMe and-NO2 were successfully transferred to ...
