In a recent issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society, Dong and coworkers report that ketones can participate as electrophiles in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction under Rh(I) catalysis. They show that activation of C–C bonds of unstrained ketones is a versatile process that can engage in cross-coupling reaction with aryl boronates.

酮C–C键激活遇到铃木-宫浦的交叉耦合

在最近一期的《美国化学学会杂志》上，Dong及其同事报告说，在Rh（I）催化下，酮可作为亲电子试剂参与Suzuki-Miyaura的交叉偶联反应。他们表明，未应变的酮的C–C键的活化是一个通用的过程，可以与芳基硼酸酯发生交叉偶联反应。
