Highly efficient methyl ketone synthesis by water-assisted C-C coupling between olefins and photoactivated acetone.
Photoirradiation of an acetone/water mixture containing olefins affords the corresponding methyl ketones highly efficiently via a water-assisted C-C coupling between acetonyl radical and olefins.
