Bc. Ranu et al., A CONVENIENT SYNTHESIS OF BETA,GAMMA-UNSATURATED KETONES THROUGH ZINC-MEDIATED ALLYLATION OF ACID-CHLORIDES, Tetrahedron letters, 37(7), 1996, pp. 1109-1112
An efficient procedure for the preparation of beta, gamma-unsaturated
ketones has been developed by a simple reaction of an acid chloride wi
th allyl bromide and commercial zinc dust in ether.
