title: Acyl hydrazides as acyl donors for the synthesis of diaryl and aryl alkyl ketones.
abstract: In this communication we describe a novel strategy for the formation of valuable diaryl and aryl alkyl ketones from acyl hydrazides. A wide variety of ketones are prepared and the mild reaction conditions allow for the use of a range of functionalities, especially in the synthesis of diaryl ketones.
