Abstract
Abstract Promoted by samarium in DMF, aroyl chlorides react readily with conjugated carbon–carbon double bonds in acrylates, acrylamides, methyl vinyl ketone and styrenes in a bis-acylation manner. These reactions proceed smoothly under mild conditions without the need of pretreating or activating the metallic samarium, affording the corresponding 1,4-diketones in good to excellent yields.
