Tetrakis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)propane: highly effective Brønsted acid catalyst for vinylogous Mukaiyama–Michael reaction of α,β-enones with silyloxyfurans

Abstract

1,1,3,3-Tetrakis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)propane was found as an excellent Brønsted acid catalyst for the Mukaiyama–Michael reaction of α,β-enones with 2-silyloxyfurans; using β,β-disubstituted enones as a Michael acceptor, an excellent yield construction of quaternary carbon centers could be achieved; in addition, very low catalyst loading of Brønsted acid was used in a range from 0.05 to 1.0 mol%.
