A Pd-catalyzed addition of organozinc reagents to enones in the presence of
carbon monoxide provides 1,4-diketones in good yield. Cyclic and acyclic
α,β-unsaturated ketones as well as aldehydes can be converted.

Conjugated addition of primary nitroalkanes to α,β-unsaturated ketones or
α,β-unsaturated esters, in the presence of two equivalents of DBU, allows
the one-pot prepration of γ-diketones or γ-keto esters, respectively. The
reaction of 2-aryl-1-nitroethane derivatives with α,β-unsaturated ketones
gives cyclopentenones.

Oxidative addition of In/InCl3 to enones proceeds exclusively in
aqueous media and leads to water-tolerant, ketone-type indium homoenolates. The
synthetic utility of the indium homoenolates was demonstrated through the
synthesis of 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds via palladium-catalyzed coupling with acid
chlorides.

A Michael addition type reaction between aroyl chlorides and chalcones was
realized in the presence of samarium metal in N,N-dimethylformamide as
solvent. Various 1,4-diketones were synthesized in moderate to good yields. A
possible mechanism is also discussed.
