Abstract
To develop the utilization of HI as an ‘old but new’ reagent, we found that the reaction of acetophenone analogues with HI gas proceeded to give an α-alkylated product, which is derived from the two ketone molecules. It was possible to conduct the reaction in solvent-free and various organic solvents under anhydrous conditions. From the investigation on the reaction mechanism, we proposed that HI acts as an acid and a reducing agent.
