A new approach to silylated ketones and dicarbonyl compounds with a conjugated (all E) diene or triene structure
Abstract
Silylated ketones and dicarbonyl compounds with a conjugated diene or triene structure are obtained by electrophilic substitution reactions between (1E, 3E)-1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)buta-1,3-diene or (1E, 3E, 5E)-1,6-bis(trimethylsilyl)hexa-1,3,5-triene and acyl chlorides in the presence of aluminium trichloride.
