N -Heterocyclic carbene-palladium(II)-1-methylimidazole complex catalyzed α-arylation of symmetric dialkyl ketones with aryl chlorides
摘要:
N-Heterocyclic carbene-palladium(II)-1-methylimidazole [NHC-Pd(II)-Im] complex 1 showed efficient catalytic activity toward alpha-arylation of symmetric dialkyl ketones under mild conditions. It was found that the ratio of aryl chlorides and ketones drastically affected the reaction. When the ratio of aryl chlorides and ketones was 1:2, mono-arylated products can be obtained in good to high yields as the sole; while that of aryl chlorides and ketones was changed to 1:0.7, di- and mono-arylated products were obtained in good to high total yields at the same time, with the former as the major.

The reaction of ketoketene dimers with organolithium reagents afforded 1,3-diketones in good to excellent yields, and with good diastereoselectivity in some cases.
