The reaction of aryl iodides or bromides with olefins in the presence of 1 mol % of $PdCl_2(PPh_3)_2$ and 3 equiv. of $n-Bu_3N\; at\; 100^{\circ}C$ in carbon monoxide atmosphere gave the corresponding aryl vinyl ketones in good yields with small amount of vinylated 1-aryl olefins. But, when the reaction was proceeded under the 10 atm of carbon monoxide, aryl vinyl ${\alpha}$-diketones and aryl vinyl ketones were obtained in moderate to good yields. The reaction was tolerant of a wide variety of functional groups on either the aryl halides or olefin compounds. Reactivity of aryl halide decrease in the order; aryl iodide > aryl bromide ${\gg}$aryl chloride. In general, the reaction proceeded well and gave good yields of aryl vinyl ketones and aryl vinyl ${\alpha}$-diketones when reactants are substituted with electron withdrawing groups.

An efficient and practical synthesis of MBH adducts of aryl vinyl ketones was developed using DABCO and 4-nitrophenol as a proton donor. Addition of a proton donor and the use of excess amounts (3.0 equiv) of aldehydes were highly beneficial for the yields of MBH adducts of aryl vinyl ketones.

Photochemical reactions of aromatic carbonyl compounds with silyl ketene acetals have been explored. Irradiation of acetonitrile or benzene solutions containing aryl aldehydes or ketones in the presence of silyl ketene acetals is observed to promo te formation of ${\beta}-hydroxyester$, 2,2-dioxyoxetane and 3,3-dioxyoxetane products. The ratios of these photoproducts, which arise by competitive single electron transfer (SET) and classical Paterno-Buchi mechanistic pathways, is found to be dependent on the degree of methyl-substitution on the vinyl moieties of the ketene acetals in a manner which reflects expected alkyl substituent effects on the oxidation potentials of these electron rich donors. An analysis of the product distribution arising by irradiation of a solution containing butyrophenone (6) and the silyl ketene acetal 9, derived from methyl isobutyrate, provides an estimate of the rate constants for the competitive Norrish type Ⅱ, SET and Paterno-Buchi processes occuring. Finally, sequences involving silyl ketene acetal-aryl aldehyde or ketone photoaddition followed by 2,2-dioxyoxetane hydrolysis represent useful procedures for Claisen-condensation type, ${\beta}-hydroxyester$ synthesis.
