Unprecedented alkylation of silicon enolates with alcohols via carbenium ion formations catalyzed by tin hydroxide-embedded montmorillonite

The solid acid, tin hydroxide-embedded montmorillonite, catalyzes the unprecedented alkylation of various silicon enolates with primary, secondary and tertiary benzylic alcohols as well as secondary allylic alcohols. The acid catalysis of Sn-Mont was not only higher than that of the other ion-exchanged montmorillonites (M-Mont; M?=?H, Ti, Fe and Al), but also higher than that of the typical homogeneous acid catalysts such as BF3·OEt2, TMSOTf and TfOH.

Triflic acid promoted direct α-alkylation of unactivated ketones using benzylic alcohols via in situ formed acetals

Direct α-alkylation of unactivated ketones using benzylic alcohols as electrophiles has been achieved at room temperature. This reaction takes place via in situ formed acetal using triflic acid and trimethyl orthoformate. It is believed that methyl vinyl
