Trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) and a trialkylamine base promote both in situ enol silane/silyl ketene acetal formation and Mukaiyama aldol addition reactions between a variety of reaction partners in a single reaction flask. Isolation of the required enol silane or silyl ketene acetal is not necessary. For example, crossed aldol reactions between α-disubstituted aldehydes and non-enolizable aldehydes yield β-hydroxy aldehydes in good yield. In a related reaction, the common laboratory solvent ethyl acetate functions as both an enolate precursor and a green reaction solvent. When thioesters are employed as enolate precursors, high yields for additions to non-enolizable aldehydes are routinely observed.

A useful procedure for effecting geminal disubstitution at the carbonyl carbon atom of aldehydes and ketones has been developed in which the sequence of reactions results in the replacement of the two carbon-oxygen bonds of the carbonyl function with an acyl group and an alkyl or hydroxyalkyl group.Of particular importance is the facile application of these procedures to the efficient construction of quaternary carbon atoms that bear alkyl appendages containing differentiated functionality.This novel methodology features the initial conversion of carbonyl compounds 1 into the substituted 2-azadienes 10 or 11 by Wittig-Horner reaction.Subsequent reaction of these 2-azadienes produced in situ with n-butyllithium results in the formation of the metalloenamines 12 and 13 (R4 = n-Bu) which undergo reactions with a wide variety of electrophiles to give, after hydrolysis of the intermediate imines, the α-substituted aldehydes 14 or the α-substituted ketones 15 in good of excellent overall yields.New procedures for the annelation of cyclopentenones such as 22 and cyclohexenones 26 at the carbonyl carbon of ketones are described as is an important variant of a directed aldol reaction, 1 --> 28.Although a number of individual manipulations are necessary to effect the geminal disubstitution of a carbonyl functional group, it is generally feasible to execute the entire sequence of reactions in single flask, thereby rendering this methodology very convenient to implement in practice.
