Abstract

Palladium (0) nanoparticles efficiently catalyze aliphatic aldehyde C–H functionalization by aryl halides to produce alkyl–aryl ketones in good yields. A wide range of substituted aryl and hetero-aryl bromides/iodides and open-chain aldehydes of varied chain length participated in this reaction.
