It was found that acylation of a variety of aliphatic olefins with acid chlorides is efficiently promoted by active zinc compounds, which were prepared from a Zn/Cu couple and alkyl iodides.The crude product mixtures were subsequently treated with 1 M KOH in methanol or were subjected to catalytic hydrogenation to afford the corresponding α,β-unsaturated or saturated ketones in good to moderate yields.It was also shown that the reaction fully follows the Markovnikov rule.
