STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF (E)-α,β-UNSATURATED ACIDS FROM C,O,O-TRI(TRIMETHYLSILYL) KETENE ACETAL AND ALDEHYDS

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)80544-4

Aldehydes are converted into (E)-α,β-unsatured carboxylic acids by means of C,O,O-tri(trimethylsilyl) ketene acetal and a catalytic a mount of ZnBr2.
