Reaction of α-halogeno ketones with aldehydes in the presence of CeI3 in tetrahydrofuran is found to give α,β-unsaturated ketones in excellent yields under mild conditions.In contrast, treatment of α-halogeno ketones and carbonyl compounds with CeCl3-NaI or CeCl3-SnCl2 affords β-hydroxy ketones in good yields.It is assumed that these reactions proceed via cerium enolates.The combined reagents, however, cannot be applied to a Reformatsky-type reaction.Regiospecific and aldehyde chemoselective aldol synthesis are also described.
