Abstract

The cross-coupling of alkylzinc halides with α-chloroketones catalyzed by Cu (acac) 2 is described. Using this method, primary and secondary alkyl groups are introduced adjacent to a ketone carbonyl under mild reaction conditions and in good yield. Cyclic, acyclic, aromatic, and aliphatic α-chloroketones are suitable substrates. Optically active α- chloroketones are converted to optically active products. The reaction was found to ...
