An error occurred while generating the citation.

Abstract

In this issue of Chem, Zuo and coworkers report an exciting new strategy for the deconstructive functionalization of ketones. Through merging Lewis-acid-catalyzed nucleophilic 1,2-addition and ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT)-promoted C–C cleavage, common strained and unstrained ketones are transformed into synthetically valuable scaffolds with high efficiency under mild conditions.
