General Remarks1 H NMR spectra were recorded at 300 or 400 MHz with CDCl3 as solvent. 13 C-NMR spectra were obtained at 75.4 or 100.59 MHz in CDCl 3 . Chemical shifts were determined relative to the residual solvent peaks (CHCl3, δ = 7.26 ppm for hydrogen atoms, δ = 77.0 for carbon atoms).
An efficient user-friendly method of acylation of Grignard reagents to selectively synthesize ketones is presented, which is assisted by simple amides such as NMP, or DMF. The present chemoselective method tolerates a variety of functional groups such as ketone, ester, nitrile and other functional groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
