Abstract

The combined use of Pd(OAc)2, Cu(OAc)2, and dioxygen in molten tetrabutylammonium acetate (TBAA) promotes an unusual cyclopropanation reaction between aryl methyl ketones and styrenes. The process is a dehydrogenative cyclizing coupling that involves a twofold CH activation at the a-position of the ketone. The substrate scope highlights the flexibility of the catalyst; a reaction mechanism is also proposed.
