Abstract
The use of allyl-palladium catalysis enables a one-step α,β-dehydrogenation of ketones via their zinc enolates. The optimized protocol utilizes commercially available Zn(TMP)2 as base and diethyl allyl phosphate as oxidant, operates under salt-free conditions, and tolerates a diverse scope of cycloalkanones.
