Selective O‐Acylation of Enol Silyl Ethers with Acyl Fluorides Catalyzed by Fluoride Ions Derived from Potassium Fluoride and 18‐Crown‐6
Abstract
Abstract The fluoride ion‐catalyzed selective O‐acylation of enol silyl ethers with acyl fluorides using KF and 18‐Crown‐6 is described herein. This catalytic system facilitated the practical and facile reaction of a variety of enol silyl ethers derived from aromatic/aliphatic ketones and aldehydes with acyl fluorides to afford useful and valuable enol esters.
