A ligand and base-free copper catalyzed synthetic method for the efficient α-arylation of aromatic ketones is described. In order to avoid strong bases, ketone-derived silyl enol ethers were employed. Their reaction with diaryliodonium salts as aryl source provided the intermolecular C–C coupling displaying good functional group tolerance and requiring low catalyst loading.
