Abstract

&Diketones are an important class of compounds in view of the distinct structural properties and high synthetic utility, particularly as building blocks for the elaboration of polycarbocyclic frameworks and heterocyclic nuclei. The preparation has been effected usually by condensation reactions of carbonyl compounds under such strongly basic or acidic conditions that cause serious side reactions.'Disclosed herein is a straightforward entry ...
