Preparation of 1,3-Diketones and of Nitro-diketones by (1:1)-Acylation of Lithium Enolates with Acyl Chlorides

Slow addition of precooled solutions of lithium enolates in THF to solutions of equimolar amounts of acyl chlorides in the same solvent at temperatures between -80 and -100 deg furnishes 1,3-diketones in acceptable to good yields.Even 3-nitropropionyl and 4-nitrobutyryl chloride can be employed for the (1:1)-acylation of enolates to give the synthetically useful 5- and 6-nitro-1,3-diketones 13 and 25, respectively.The scope and the limitations of this method of preparing 1,3-diketones are given and are compared with alternative methods.
