A HIGHLY EFFICIENT SYNTHETIC ROUTE TO KETONES THROUGH SEQUENTIAL COUPLING REACTIONS OF GRIGNARD REAGENTS WITH S-PHENYL CARBONOCHLORODITHIOATE IN THE PRESENCE OF NICKEL OR IRON CATALYSTS

The sequential coupling reactions of Grignard reagents with S-phenyl carbonochloridothioate in the presence of nickel(II) or iron(III) catalysts provides a very mild and straightforward route to symmetrical and unsymmetrical aliphatic and aromatic ketones.
