We describe the development of a new palladium-catalyzed method to generate ketones <i>via</i> the oxidative coupling of two arenes and CO. This transformation is catalyzed by simple palladium salts, and is postulated to proceed <i>via</i> the conversion of arenes into high energy aroyl triflate electrophiles. Exploiting the latter can also allow the synthesis of unsymmetrical ketones from two different arenes. ...[more]
