Abstract

The acylation of organometallic intermediates with acid chlorides is an important method for the preparation of polyfunctional ketones. This functionality is present in a great variety of pharmaceutical and material-science target molecules.[1] Many organometallic reagents have been used for performing acylations, and organomanganese reagents have proved to be especially useful.[2] Polyfunctional organozinc compounds have also been used ...
