Scandium trifluoromethanesulfonate as an extremely active Lewis acid catalyst in acylation of alcohols with acid anhydrides and mixed anhydrides

Scandium trifluoromethanesulfonate (triflate), which is commercially available, is a practical and useful Lewis acid catalyst for acylation of alcohols with acid anhydrides or the esterification of alcohols by carboxylic acids in the presence of p-nitrobenzoic anhydrides. The remarkably high catalytic activity of scandium triflate can be used for assisting the acylation by acid anhydrides of not only primary alcohols but also sterically-hindered secondary or tertiary alcohols. The method presented is especially effective for selective macrolactonization of ω-hydroxy carboxylic acids.
Reaction of α-Silyl Esters with Grignard Reagents: A Synthesis of β-Keto Silanes and Ketones. Preparation of the Douglas Fir Tussock Moth Pheromone
Larson, Gerald L.,Hernandez, David,Lopez-Cepero, Ingrid Montes de,Torres, Luz E.

A variety of α-diphenylmethylsilyl esters have been prepared and reacted with Grignard reagents.The reaction is relatively slow in refluxing THF and can be controlled to allow the addition of 1 equiv of the Grignard reagent, providing the corresponding β-keto silane.Protiodesilylation of the β-keto silane results in the overall conversion of an ester to a ketone.This ester to ketone methodology has been applied to a two-step synthesis of the pheromone of the Douglas fir tussock moth.The β-keto silanes are viable precursors to regioselectively generated enol silyl ethers.The reaction of ethyl 2-methyl-2-(diphenylmethylsilyl)propionate with vinylmagnesium bromide or 2-methyl 1-propenylmagnesium bromide results in the addition of 2 equiv of the Grignard reagent, the second in a Michael fashion.
