A mixture of an enol trimethylsilyl ether and a fluoride salt exists in a dynamic equilibrium with an enolate species and fluorotrimethylsilane.Evacuation of an equimolar mixture of an enol trimethylsilyl ether of benzyl methyl ketone and tris(diethylamino)sulfonium (TAS) difluorotrimethylsiliconate produces fluorotrimethylsilane as the volatile fraction and the corresponding TAS enolate as air-sensitive crystals.The conductivity measurement and the 1H and 13C NMR analysis have substantiated the ionic nature of the TAS enolate in THF.The NMR chemical shifts are interpreted in terms of the electron distribution.The isolated TAS enolate undergoes O-acetylation with acetic anhydride and C-alkylation with methyl iodide exclusively.TAS enolate intermediates generated in situ from a series of enol silyl ethers and TAS difluorotrimethylsiliconate react with various active organic halides under mild conditions to give the regiospecific C-alkylation products.The in situ formed enolates react with aldehyde substrates to afford the β-trimethylsiloxy ketone adducts.In most cases, the reaction is kinetically controlled and the major products have erythro stereochemistry regardless of enolate configuration.This aldol reaction is postulated to proceed via an acyclic, extended transition state, in contrast to ordinary aldol reactions of Lewis acid coordinated enolates, which take place by way of six-membered chelate transition states.

A new aldol reaction effected by the reaction of enol trimethylsilyl ethers and a quarternary ammonium fluoride is reported.Under the influence of a catalytic amount of tetrabutylammonium fluoride at low temperatures, enol silyl ethers react with various aldehydes to give the corresponding aldol trimethylsilyl ethers in fair to good yields.The silyl group of these products can be smoothly removed under mild conditions.Ketones, epoxides, and esters do not serve as electrophiles in this reaction.The reaction proceeds in a regiospecific manner with respect to the enol silyl ethers; the reactions of two regioisomers of 2-methylcyclohexanone with benzaldehyde cleanly give the respective regioisomeric aldol products.The reaction of 4-tert-butyl-1-methyl-2-(trimethylsiloxy)cyclohexene proceeds exclusively by the axial attack of the electrophile, making a strong contrast with the related cases reported on this cyclohexanone system.The aldol addition of a ketone and an aldehyde can be performed without the isolation of the enol silyl ether of the ketone by effecting both the silylation of the ketone and the aldol reaction with the aid of a fluoride anion.The characteristic behavior of the enolate species in this reaction can be rationalized by considering a mobile equilibrium in which the combination of fluorotrimethylsilane and a quarternary ammonium enolate functions as key controlling factor.
