Silazanes/catalytic bases: mild, powerful and chemoselective agents for the preparation of enol silyl ethers from ketones and aldehydes.
We have developed an efficient method for the preparation of enol silyl ethers using novel agents, silazanes together with NaH or DBU catalyst, wherein TMS and TBDMS groups were smoothly and chemoselectively introduced into ketones and aldehydes under mild conditions.
