Abstract

Treatment of vinylmercuric chlorides with acid chlorides and aluminum trichloride for 5 min at room temperature in methylene chloride solvent provides a very mild, convenient method for the synthesis of a $-unsaturated ketones in excellent yields and high stereochemical purity. The reaction is applicable to the synthesis of functional-ly substituted enones as well as dienones. Rhodium (1) and palladium (0) reagents also promote the reaction, but in ...
