In organosilicon chemistry, silyl enol ethers are a class of organic compounds that share the common functional group R3Si−O−CR=CR2, composed of an enolate...

used to install silyl groups onto hindered positions. Silyl triflate is more reactive and also converts ketones to silyl enol ethers. Silyl triflates are...

generation of the enol often is accompanied by "trapping" or masking of the hydroxy group as an ether, such as a silyl enol ether. Keto–enol tautomerism refers...

enol ether is an alkene with an alkoxy substituent. The general structure is R2C=CR-OR where R = H, alkyl or aryl. A common subfamily of enol ethers are...

Ge, Sn, Pb). Such compounds are considered ethers as well. Examples of such ethers are silyl enol ethers R3Si−O−CR=CR2 (containing the Si−O−C linkage)...

addition is an organic reaction and a type of aldol reaction between a silyl enol ether (R2C=CR−O−Si(CH3)3) and an aldehyde (R−CH=O) or formate (R−O−CH=O)...

Rubottom oxidation is a useful, high-yielding chemical reaction between silyl enol ethers and peroxyacids to give the corresponding α-hydroxy carbonyl product...

will occur. One way to get around this is to turn the aldehyde into a silyl enol ether using trimethylsilyl chloride and a base, such as triethylamine, and...

compounds. The reaction as originally reported involved formation of a silyl enol ether followed by treatment with palladium(II) acetate and benzoquinone to...

silylation is to trap silyl enol ethers, which represent a reactive tautomer of many carbonyl compounds. The introduction of a silyl group(s) gives derivatives...
