title: Unexpected cross-coupling reaction between o-chloroaryl ketones and organomanganese reagents.
abstract: Alkyl- and arylmanganese reagents react with o-chloro or o-bromoaryl ketones to give the substituted ketones in high yields. The cross-coupling reaction is performed under mild conditions (-60 to +40 degrees C, 30 min to 4 h) and takes place with excellent chemoselectivity. [reaction: see text]
