Palladium‐Catalyzed Mono‐α‐arylation of Acetone at Room Temperature
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The first examples of acetone mono-α-arylation at room temperature are described, enabled by use of a [Pd(cinnamyl)Cl]2 /JosiPhos catalyst system. (Hetero)aryl chloride, bromide, and iodide electrophiles featuring or lacking ortho-substitution, and comprising a range of functionalities (e.g., alkoxy, cyano, fluoro, trifluoromethyl, or alkenyl) and heteroaryl motifs (e.g., pyrrole, pyridine, isoquinoline, quinoline, quinaldine, (benzo)thiophene, benzothiazole, or benzodioxole) were successfully accommodated. Proof-of-principle experiments confirm that other (hetero)aryl methyl ketones can also be employed in such room temperature mono-α-arylations. The established substrate scope is the most extensive reported to date for acetone mono-α-arylation under any conditions, and more generally represents the first room temperature ketone mono-α-arylations employing a structurally diverse set of (hetero)aryl chlorides.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
