Abstract

Abstract An efficient and practical method for the synthesis of sterically hindered aliphatic/aromatic 1, 3??diketones via coupling of ketones with esters using potassium tert?? butoxide is described. The protocol requires milder operating conditions, and the products are obained in good to excellent yields.
