Abstract

Chloro-substituted triethylsilyl enol ethers derived from cyclohexanone and related ketones are converted with aluminum powder in the presence of indium trichloride to functionalized allylic aluminum reagents which represent a new type of synthetic equivalent of metal enolates. These allylic organometallics undergo highly diastereoselective additions to aldehydes and methyl aryl ketones, giving aldol products with a β-quaternary center.
