Highly regioselective addition of an ester enolate equivalent to α,β-unsaturated ketones: selective formation of both isomers derived from 1,2- and 1,4-additions using α-stannyl ester with additives
Abstract
The reaction of α-stannyl ester with α,β-unsaturated ketones in the presence of stannous chloride (SnCl2) and chlorosilanes (Me3SiCl or Me2SiCl2) gave 1,2- and 1,4-addition products, respectively.
