Herein, we report a double deprotonation method used for the preparation of ynolates starting from nonbrominated 2,6-di-tert-butylphenyl esters. The current method is superior to the previously described double lithium/halogen exchange approach because easily accessible starting materials are used. This method will be especially useful for preparation of ynolates bearing functional groups in organic
We have developed the first general method for a stereoselective olefination of acylsilanes via ynolate anions to produce (Z)-beta-silyl-alpha,beta-unsaturated ester, which leads to tri- and tetrasubstitutedalkenes.
applied to the olefination of carbonyl compounds, with the reactions reaching completion in a much shorter reaction time in the continuous flow reactor than the batch reactor. These results highlight the practical utility of the ynolate reaction, and represent the first reported example of the use of lithium naphthalenide in a flowmicroreactor, which would contribute to progress of the flash chemistry
