Aromatic α,β-unsaturated ketones are synthesized efficiently by palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of arylboronic acids with α,β-unsaturated acyl chlorides in the presence of K3PO4 hydrate in toluene.

A new method for the synthesis of organoborates starting from α,β-unsaturated acetals was developed. The available alkoxy-functionalized butadienyl- and styrylboronic esters cross couple effectively with a broad spectrum of aryl halides under mild conditions. This method provides an effective approach to aromatic ketones.
