Graphene oxide catalyzed ketone α-alkylation with alkenes: enhancement of graphene oxide activity by hydrogen bonding

Chem. Commun., 2019, Advance Article DOI: 10.1039/C9CC02578B, CommunicationGuangrong Meng, Mehulkumar Patel, Feixiang Luo, Qingdong Li, Carol Flach, Richard Mendelsohn, Eric Garfunkel, Huixin He, Michal Szostak The first ketone-alkylation using olefins and alcohols as simple alkylating agents catalyzed by graphene oxide is reported. Extensive studies of the graphene surface suggest a pathway involving dual activation of both coupling partners.
