A synthesis of 3‐pyridyl methyl ketones is described that employs a palladium‐catalyzed olefination of 3‐bromopyridines with butyl vinyl ether followed by acid hydrolysis of the intermediate pyridyl vinyl ether in situ . This method has been applied to bromoquinoline substrates as well. The reaction is compatible with a variety of functional groups.
