Bistrifluoromethanesulfonimide in the catalytic conjugate allylation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(98)00394-3

Bistrifluoromethanesulfonimide may be used directly to initiate the catalytic conjugate allylation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds with allyltrimethylsilane; high yields of either silyl enol ethers or δ,ε- unsaturated ketones and esters may be obtai
