Abstract
A simple method for the preparation of aryl methyl ketones involves the Pd-catalyzed coupling of commercially available acetyltrimethylsilane with aryl bromides to afford the corresponding acetylated arenes in very good yields. The methodology is tolerant of heterocycles and provides a new method for arene functionalization.
