Lanthanide Trifluoromethanesulfonates as Stable Lewis Acids in Aqueous Media. Yb(OTf)3 Catalyzed Hydroxymethylation Reaction of Silyl Enol Ethers with Commercial Formaldehyde Solution
Kobayashi, Shu
, p. 2187 - 2190 (1991)
Silyl enol ethers smoothly react with commercial formaldehyde solution to give the corresponding hydroxymethylated adducts in high yields by the promotion of a catalytic amount of ytterbium(III) triflate (Yb(OTf)3), which is a stable Lewis acid in aqueous
Lanthanide Triflates as Water-Tolerant Lewis Acids. Activation of Commercial Formaldehyde Solution and Use in the Aldol Reaction of Silyl Enol Ethers with Aldehydes in Aqueous Media
Kobayashi, Shu,Hachiya, Iwao
, p. 3590 - 3596 (2007/10/02)
Lanthanide trifluoromethanesulfonates (triflates), especially ytterbium triflate (Yb(OTf)3), were found to be stable Lewis acids in water.In the presence of a catalytic amount of lanthanide triflate, formaldehyde in water solution (commercial formaldehyde
