Catalytic Intermolecular Aldehyde-Ketone Coupling via Acyl Phosphonates

  • 1. Middle E Tech Univ, Dept Chem, TR-06531 Ankara, Turkey

Description

The first catalytic intermolecular aldehyde-ketone coupling via acyl phosphonate is reported. Acyl phosphonates are potent acyl anion precursors, which generate acyl anion equivalents under the influence of cyanide anion via phosphonate-phosphate rearrangement. These anions readily react with activated ketones to form acyloin type coupling in 41-95% yields.
