Silylenolether-Funktionalisierung, 3. Mitt. Regioselektive Acylierung von Trimethylsilylenolethern mit 2-Alkoxy-1,3-dioxolanen — Synthese von α- und γ-geschützten Dicarbonylverbindungen

Acylation of silylenol ethers1 and9 yield with 2-alkoxy-2-alkyl(or aryl)-1,3-dioxolanes5 in a simple way by zinc dichloride-diethyl ether-catalysis regioselectively the - and -protected dicarbonyl derivatives6,7, and10. The enhanced reactivity of the cyclic orthoesters5 in this reaction is discussed in comparison with acyclic reagents. The yield is influenced by steric effects at the reaction center.
