Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4020(01)87679-1

The reaction of tin(II) enolates with various α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds is examined.When TMSCl is added as an activator of the α,β-unsaturated ketones, the Michael addition reaction proceeds smoothly to give the corresponding 1,4-adduct in good y
