The hydration of α,β‐unsaturatedketones with water proceeded efficiently in the presence of In(OTf)3 (20 mol%) in aqueous media to afford synthetically versatile β‐hydroxyketones in moderate to good yields with good functional group compatibility. The method also can be extended to the hydroalkoxylation of α,β‐unsaturatedketones with various alcohols for the efficient synthesis of β‐alkoxyketones as
Chromium(III)-Catalyzed Addition of Water and Alcohol to α,β-Unsaturated Ketones for the Synthesis of β-Hydroxyl and β-Alkoxyl Ketones in Aqueous Media
An efficient chromium(III) chloride-catalyzed Michael-type reaction of water or alcohol with α,β-unsaturatedketones is developed. A variety of α,β-unsaturatedketones effectively reacted with either water or alcohols to give the corresponding β-hydroxyl ketones or β-alkoxyl ketones in modest to high yields with excellent compatibility to various functional groups. The approach was further utilized

High pressure (about 200 MPa), which was realized by freezing water in a sealed autoclave, has been successfully applied to a high-yield Michael reaction of alcohols and α,β-unsaturated ketones in the presence of a catalytic amount of DMAP and LiClO4. Only a moderate yield was obtained under atmospheric pressure.
Abstract An efficient method was developed for the conjugate addition of water to various α,β-unsaturatedketones by using bismuth(III) chloride as a catalyst. The reactions proceeded smoothly in the presence of a catalytic amount of BiCl3 (20 mol%) in aqueous media to furnish a variety of synthetically useful β-hydroxyl ketones in moderate to good yields. Apart from water molecule, various alcohols
