A convenient and efficient method was developed for the synthesis of arylacetones from (E)-3-aryl-2-methylacrylic acids through a Curtius rearrangement. The Curtius rearrangement of (E)-3-aryl-2-methylacryloyl azides and subsequent hydrolysis proceeded at mild temperatures in a two-phase medium of carbon tetrachloride and water containing a catalytic amount of tetrabutylammonium bromide to give the corresponding derivatives in 82-93% yield.
