Bismesitylmagnesium: a thermally stable and non-nucleophilic carbon-centred base reagent for the efficient preparation of silyl enol ethers.
Bismesitylmagnesium has been established as an accessible, practical, convenient, and non-nucleophilic carbon-centred base reagent for efficient access to silyl enol ethers from a series of ketone substrates at readily utilisable temperatures.
