Abstract

β-Diketones can undergo a reaction with aryl halides in the presence of Cu(I) or Cu(II) salts in DMSO using K3PO4 • 3 H2O without ligands to form various α-aryl ketones. H2O assists the C-C activation. This simple, practical method complements classic methods for the rapid construction of C-C bonds to a carbonyl moiety.
