title: Tandem nucleophilic addition-Oppenauer oxidation of aromatic aldehydes to aryl ketones with triorganoaluminium reagents.
abstract: In the presence of pinacolone, the in situ prepared triorganoaluminium reagents reacted with aromatic aldehydes to give ketones in moderate to high yield. We propose that the products are formed via a tandem organoaluminium reagents addition-Oppenauer oxidation sequence.
