The Michael Reaction of O-Silylated Ketene Acetals with α,β-Unsaturated Esters Promoted by a Catalytic Amount of Aluminium Triflate

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1987.1719

The Michael reaction of O-silylated ketene acetals with α,β-unsaturated ester in the presence of a catalytic amount of aluminium triflate proceeds smoothly under mild conditions to afford the corresponding glutarates in good yields.
