Various α-alkylated ketones were obtained in good yields through a borrowing hydrogen strategy by using 1 % of catalysts and a catalytic amount of NaOH (10 mol%) as the base under air atmosphere. All synthesized compounds were characteized by 1H and 13C NMR.}, number={3}, publisher={Erzincan Binali Yildirim University}
