REACTIONS OF α-HETEROATOM-SUBSTITUTED ETHERS AND SULFIDES WITH SILYL ENOL ETHERS. CHEMOSELECTIVITY IN THE CLEAVAGE OF HETEROATOM-CARBON BONDS BY IODOTRIMETHYLSILANE AND TRIMETHYLSILYL TRIFLUOROMETHANESULFONATE

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1983.405

Reactions of α-heteroatom substituted ethers and related compounds (R¹R²CXY; X, Y = RO, RS and Cl) with silyl enol ethers and ketene silyl acetals took place in the presence of iodotrimethylsilane (Ia) and trimethylsilyl triflate (Ib) as a catalyst and factors influencing the activation of the heteroatom by I were examined.
