Abstract

Evidence is presented that the formation of@ diketones from methylene ketones and acetic anhydride by means of boron trifluoride involves, not only direct C acetylation of the ketone, but also 0 acetylation of the ketone and C acetylation of the resulting ketone enol ester. The 0 acetylation is catalyzed by proton acid formed as the by-product in the C acetylation of the ketone. Certain intermediate ketone enol esters,@ diketone enol esters, and boron ...
