Abstract

An efficient method for the synthesis of ketones using organolithium and acid chlorides under continuous flow conditions has been developed. In contrast to standard batch chemistry, over-addition of the organolithium to the ketone for the formation of the undesired tertiary alcohol has been minimised representing a direct approach toward ketones.
