Abstract
The reaction of different aryl, alkyl, and alkynyl Grignard reagents with N-Boc amides provides a wide range of aryl ketones via chemoselective C(O)-N bond cleavage under catalyst-free conditions. α-Ketoamide was successfully converted to aryl diketones, while α,β-unsaturated amide underwent 1,4-addition followed by C(O)-N bond cleavage to provide diaryl propiophenones.
