SELECTIVE ALKYLATION OF BETA-KETOESTER ENOLATES USING O-METHYL AMINOSULFOXONIUM SALTS - THE FIRST EXAMPLE OF C-ALKYLATION USING SULFOXONIUMSALT ELECTROPHILES
If. Pickersgill et al., SELECTIVE ALKYLATION OF BETA-KETOESTER ENOLATES USING O-METHYL AMINOSULFOXONIUM SALTS - THE FIRST EXAMPLE OF C-ALKYLATION USING SULFOXONIUMSALT ELECTROPHILES, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (22), 1994, pp. 2597-2598
The alkylation of beta-ketoester enolates with O-methyl aminosulfoxoni
um tetraphenylborate salts is reported; good to excellent selectivity
for C- vs. O-alkylation is observed,and is found to be dependent on th
e nature of the beta-ketoester, solvent, metal counterion and aminosul
foxonium salt.
