Abstract
Acyl chlorides couple with Grignard reagents at room temperature in the presence of catalytic amounts of tris(acetylacetonate)iron(III), Fe(acac)3. The reaction is general with respect to both reactants and provides a very mild and convenient method for the synthesis of aliphatic and aromatic ketones.
