KOH-promoted reaction of C,O,O-tris(trimethylsilyl) ketene acetal with aldehydes: Practical and easy access to (E)-alpha,beta-ethylenic carboxylic acids
N. Lensen et al., KOH-promoted reaction of C,O,O-tris(trimethylsilyl) ketene acetal with aldehydes: Practical and easy access to (E)-alpha,beta-ethylenic carboxylic acids, SYN COMMUN, 31(7), 2001, pp. 1007-1011
The use of a catalytic amount of KOH has been found to be very efficient in
promoting reaction of silylketene acetal 1 with aldehydes 2 to afford the
corresponding (E)-alpha,beta -ethylenic carboxylic acids 3 under very mild
conditions.
