title: A novel nucleophilic substitution of in situ generated 3-tert-butyldimethyl- silyloxyalk-2-enylsulfonium salts with allylindium reagents.
abstract: [reaction: see text] In situ generated 3-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxyalk-2-enylsulfonium salts derived from the reaction of alpha,beta-enones with dimethyl sulfide in the presence of TBSOTf undergo a novel nucleophilic substitution with in situ generated allylindium reagents from indium and allyl halides to give silyl enol ethers of delta,epsilon-unsaturated ketones, which correspond to Michael addition products, in good yields.
