Abstract
An efficient synthesis of alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones by the reacti on of acid chlorides with trialkylaluminum (1/3 mole equiv) in the pre sence of AlCl3 (1 mol equiv) is described. Dialkylzincs were also usef ul and are easier to prepare than trialkylaluminum. Reaction of RCOCl with R'AlCl2 or R-2'AlCl gave R'COR, without AlCl3, in high yield.
