Palladium-Catalyzed Coupling Reaction of Acylzirconocene Chlorides with Hypervalent Iodonium Salts: Synthesis of Aryl-Substituted Ketones.

The palladium-catalyzed acylation reaction of alkenoyl- and alkanoylzirconocene chlorides with hypervalent iodonium salts afforded the acylated aromatic compounds under mild conditions.
