title: Pd-catalyzed carbonylative conjugate addition of dialkylzinc reagents to unsaturated carbonyls.
abstract: The Pd-catalyzed addition of organozinc reagents to unsaturated carbonyls in the presence of carbon monoxide provides 1,4-diketones in good yield. The reaction was studied with a number of substituted cyclic and acyclic ketones as well as alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes.
