Abstract
This paper reports the successful conversion of 1-arylallyloxysilanes into highly nucleophilic siloxyallylpotassium intermediates using (trimethylsilyl)methylpotassium as the base. These organopotassium species react regioselectively with various electrophiles, leading to the formation of the corresponding 3-functionalized (Z)-silyl enol ethers. The resulting silyl enol ethers can undergo a range of α-functionalization reactions, yielding ketones with diverse structures. Thus, our method enables the effective utilization of 1-arylallyloxysilanes as formal precursors to potassium homoenolate equivalents of ketones.
