Palladium-catalysed arylation of α-methoxyketene methyl silyl acetals
Abstract
Methyl α-methoxyarylacetates 3 have been synthesized by the palladium-catalysed reaction of iodobenzenes 1 with α-methoxyketene methyl silyl acetals 2. The diastereoselective and enantioselective synthesis of the arylacetates has also been examined.
