A Novel Synthesis of 1,3-Diketones by Reaction of an α-Bromoketone with Acyl Chlorides Promoted by Gallium Triiodide
Abstract
Promoted by gallium triiodide, an α-bromoketone, bromomethyl phenyl ketone, is treated with acyl chlorides to synthesize 1,3-diketones in good yields under mild and neutral conditions.
