Organic & biomolecular chemistry 2023 Jan 04Prenol and isoprenoids are common structural motifs in biological systems and possess diverse applications. An unprecedented direct catalytic prenylation of ketones using prenol is attained. This C-C bond formation reaction requires only a ruthenium pincer catalyst and a base, and H2O is the only byproduct.
