This catalytic protocol provides a novel and efficient method to access gamma,gamma-diaryl ketone derivatives in good to excellent yields with high functional group tolerance. Importantly, gamma,gamma-diaryl ketone can be further functionalized to give a versatile set of useful products.}, issn = {1359-7345}, doi = {10.1039/d1cc05997a}, author = {Shirsath, Sachin R. and Chandgude, Sagar M. and Muthukrishnan, M.} }
