Structurally different ketones can be alkylated at the α-position via their silyl enol ethers with tert-alkyl halides in the presence of Lewis acids such as titanium tetrachloride (->27 - 35).Concerning the alkylation agent, the position specific introduction of branched and cyclic tert-alkyl groups is possible (->41 - 49).Bridgehead halides of the type 1-adamantyl bromide react analogously (->52 - 61).Silyl enol ethers derived from unsymmetrical ketones react regiospecifically (->63, 64, 66, 67).If the reaction partners contain additional functional groups such as aryl residues (->68, 69) or ester groups (->71) or primary alkyl halides moieties (->73), selectivity in the desired manner is observed. α,α'-Bis-tert-alkylated ketones (74 - 76) are also easily accessible, but not the α,α-isomers.
