The present work disclosed a considerably improved method for the construction of alkyl-aryl ketones by the direct coupling of unactivated alkyl bromides with 1.5 equiv. of acids. In addition, the synthesis of aroyl C-glycosides was first achieved by the reductive coupling of 1-glycosyl bromides with acid derivatives, which may otherwise require multi-step synthesis.
