Reaction of Trialkylboranes with Cyclic α-Diazo Ketones. A New Synthesis of α-Alkyl Cycloalkanones

Abstract
An efficient procedure has been developed for the alkylation of cyclic ketones, based on the reaction of trialkylboranes with cyclic α-diazo ketones. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions, affords high yields of α-alkylated cycloalkanones, and circumvents certain difficulties inherent in previous alkylation methods.
