M. Kodomari et al., Convenient synthesis of aryl-substituted halo olefins from aromatic ketones and acetyl halides in the presence of silica gel-supported zinc halides, TETRAHEDR L, 42(17), 2001, pp. 3105-3107
A simple and efficient procedure has been developed for the synthesis of ar
yl-substituted chloro and bromo olefins from aromatic ketones and acetyl ha
lides in the presence of silica gel-supported zinc halides. The Z-isomer is
selectively formed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
