Abstract
A new method for the preparation of aldehydes and ketones from alkylni trites and BF3.Et2O or anhydrous ZnCl2 is described. Twelve different nitrites were tested obtaining yields over 90%. When these Lewis acids were substituted by anhydrous AlCl3, the yield decreased to a value b elow 20%.
