The Highly Stereoselective Michael Reaction of α,β-Unsaturated Ketones with Silyl Enol Ethers of Thioesters Catalyzed by Trityl Salts. A Facile Stereoselective Synthesis of 5-Oxocarboxylic Acid Ester Derivatives

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1986.1817

In the presence of a catalytic amount of trityl salts, silyl enol ethers of thioesters stereoselectively react with α,β-unsaturated ketones to afford the Michael adducts in high yields. 5-Oxocarboxyclic acid ester derivatives, useful synthetic precursors
