Abstract
A new selective synthetic method of enol esters (O-acylated products) from silyl enol ether and acid chloride in the presence of CuCl is des cribed. This reaction proceeds smoothly in DMI (1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazo lidinone) but not in a less polar solvent. The silicon-copper exchange reaction pathway is proposed for this transformation as in the cases of hydrosilane and alkynylsilane which were previously reported. (C) 1 998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
