The dehydrative mono-/dialkylation reactions of alcohols and β-ketoacids were realized under arylboronic acid catalysis, furnishing a series of β-aryl ketones and β-ketoesters in yields of 15–99%, with CO2 and H2O being the byproduct
An increased understanding of enolate additions under mechanochemical conditions

Very little is known about enolate addition chemistry under solver-free mechanochemical conditions. In this report, we investigated the ability to selectively form products arising from the primary, secondary, and tertiary enolates under solvent-free conditions. Using potassium tert-butoxide as the base and primary, secondary, and tertiary electrophiles, we were able to generate various enolate addition products including, 1,3,3,3-Tetraphenyl-2,2-dimethyl-1-propanone; a molecule we did not observe under traditional solution-based conditions.

1,3-Diphenylpropan-2-one undergoes dehydration over alumina at around 400 deg C to form 1,3-diphenylallene which cyclizes to 2-phenylindene.Since the parent ketone can be obtained under the reaction conditions from phenylacetic acid, the present reaction forms a one step syntheses of 2-phenylindene from phenylacetic acid. 3- and 4-methylphenylacetic acids also give the corresponding indenes. 1,3-Diphenylpropan-1-ones also give phenylindenes, presumably by a direct cyclodehydration reaction.
