Abstract
The reaction of lithium (trimethylsilyl)diazomethane with aldehydes and ketones has been investigated, and it has been found that quenching at low temperature with MeOH followed by addition of Rh2(OAc)4 gave silyl enol ethers in high yields. Quenching with other electrophiles (e.g., deuterium, MeI) gave terminal and substituted silyl enol ethers with complete control over regio- and stereochemistry. The mechanism of this novel process has been mapped out through a combination of deuterium labeling, ReactIR, and isolation of reaction intermediates.Entities:
