Abstract

Abstract The rhodium-catalyzed oxidative ortho-acylation of aryl ketone O-methyl oximes with aryl and alkyl aldehydes via C [BOND] H bond activation is described. The cross- coupling reaction exhibits high functional group tolerance and regioselectivity under relatively mild conditions and constitutes a versatile route to a diverse library of diaryl ketones, which are difficult to obtain by the classical Friedel–Crafts acylation. Moreover, ...
