Efficient and regioselective cyanosilylation of cyclohex-2-enone and other unsaturated ketones over solid acid and base catalysts
Abstract
Cyanotrimethylsilane reacts with α,β-unsaturated ketones to afford 1,4- and 1,2-adducts regioselectively in the presence of strongly acidic montmorillonite and strongly basic CaO or MgO, respectively.
