Alkyl carboxylates 2 are silylated by trialkylsilyl triflates 1 in the presence of triethylamine (3) to yield ketene acetals 4.In reactions of the esters 6 mixtures of ketene acetals 7 and at the α-carbon silylated esters 8 are obtained.Ethanoic acid esters and lactones are doubly silylated to give the products 11, 12, and 15, respectively.Under suitable conditions silylation of the esters 10 gives rise to the 2-trimethylsilylethanoic acid esters 13.The thermodynamically more stable products are obtained.Product distributions depend on the structure of the esters and the silylating agents 1.
