2-Cyclohexen-1-one → 2-Phenylcyclohexanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

Lastly, to examine the utility of the catalyst on a somewhat larger scale, the reaction of cyclohexenone with phenylboronic acid was performed on a 20 mmol scale and the product 2-phenyl cyclohexanone was isolated in identical yield (83%) to the small-scale reaction (Table 1, entry 5). Thus, the ligands described herein may have practical application in larger scale reactions.
