O,O'-Bis-silylated acyloins 10a-h as well as the tris-silylated form 13 of glycolic acid (7) can be tert-alkylated with tert-butyl chloride or 1-adamantyl bromide in the presence of catalytic amounts of ZnCl2.In case of unsymmetrically substituted derivatives, complete regioselectivity according to the Markovnikov rule is observed.The adamantylated acyloins are converted into α,β-unsaturated α-adamantyl ketones 27-30 upon treatment with H2SO4.
