Abstract
A simple and efficient procedure to synthesize highly hindered alkyl aryl ketones that involves the coupling of N,N‐dimethyl‐3,5‐di‐tert‐butylsalicylamide with organolithium compounds is described. Mild reaction conditions and good to excellent yields of the products are the noteworthy advantages of the procedure.
