Abstract

Despite the rapid progress in the development of metalcatalyzed cross-coupling reactions,[1] many challenges remain for the as yet unrealized classes of metal-catalyzed CÀC bondforming reactions. 1, 3-Diketones are important basic building blocks, which are traditionally prepared by the acylation of ketone enolates, or by an aldol reaction of enolates with aldehydes followed by oxidation.[2, 3] A transition-metal-based hydroacylation ...
