Sulfoniosilylation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. Facile nucleophilic substitution of 3-trialkylsilyloxyalk-2-enylenesulfonium salts
Abstract
Sulfoniosilylation of α,β-enones and α,β-enals with trialkylsilyl triflate and dimethyl sulfide at –78°C affords 3-trialkylsilyloxyalk-2-enylenesulfonium salts, which undergo facile nucleophilic substitution with various nucleophiles.
