Notes:
Carbonyl compounds undergo α-alkylation via the corresponding silyl enol ethers using SN1 active alkyl halides or acetates in the presence of Lewis acids. This methodology extends the scope of carbonyl chemistry considerably, since SN1 active alkylating agents are generally base sensitive and therefore unsuitable for reactions with enolate anions or nitrogen analogs. A prime example is the α-tert-alkylation of aldehydes, ketones and esters.
