title: Mild Mn(OAc)3-Mediated Aerobic Oxidative Decarboxylative Coupling of Arylboronic Acids and Arylpropiolic Acids: Direct Access to Diaryl 1,2-Diketones.
abstract: A simple and efficient method for the synthesis of diaryl 1,2-diketones has been developed. The reaction represents the first example of diaryl 1,2-diketones that are synthesized directly from arylboronic acids and arylpropiolic acids by a radical pathway in moderate to good yields. This reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions and with good tolerance of a variety of functional groups. Preliminary mechanistic studies were conducted.
