Abstract

Palladium-catalyzed couplings of aryl bromides with N-tert-butylhydrazones as acyl anion equivalents occurs at the C-position to form N-tert-butyl azo compounds. Isomerization of these azo compounds to the corresponding hydrazones, followed by hydrolysis, gave the desired mixed alkyl aryl ketones.
