Abstract

The aldol-type addition of acetone towards (un) substituted benzoyl, heteroarylcarbonyl or α, β-unsaturated acyl cyanides was efficiently catalyzed by l-proline (30mol%) to give 2- hydroxy-4-oxo-2-substituted pentanenitriles. Upon the treatment with sodium hydroxide, the adducts transformed to 1, 3-diketones in good-to-excellent yield, furnishing an efficient and convenient method for the regioselective synthesis of 1, 3-diketones.
