Abstract

Conjugate addition of α,β-unsaturated ketones with arylzinc species that form in situ from diethylzinc and a series of arylboronic acids by boron-zinc exchange reactions were investigated. 1,4-Addition products were formed in yields of 34-93%.

Keywords

conjugate addition - α,β-unsaturated ketone - arylboronic acid - boron-zinc exchange reaction
