Abstract

A novel Michael addition type reaction between aroyl chlorides and chalcones was realized in the presence of samarium metal when N,N-dimethylformamide was used as a solvent. A variety of 1,4-diketones were thereby synthesized in moderate to good yields. The possible mechanism is also discussed.

Key words

samarium - Michael addition - aroyl chlorides - chalcones - 1,4-diketones
