title: Highly effective vinylogous Mukaiyama-Michael reaction catalyzed by silyl methide species generated from 1,1,3,3-tetrakis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)propane.
abstract: Silyl methide species in situ generated from 1,1,3,3-tetrakis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)propane (Tf(2)CHCH(2)CHTf(2)) performed as an excellent acid catalyst for the vinylogous Mukaiyama-Michael reaction of alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones with 2-silyloxyfurans. Notably, the required loading of Tf(2)CHCH(2)CHTf(2) to obtain the 1,4-adducts in reasonable yield was significantly low (from 0.05 to 1.0 mol %). This carbon acid-mediated VMM reaction provides a powerful synthetic methodology to construct highly substituted gamma-butenolide structure.
