A new, practical route to enoxysilanes is described from simple enolizable aldehydes or ketones, using the trimethylchlorosilane-sodium iodide—tertiary amine reagent in acetonitrile. From certain aldehydes, an onium intermediate has been isolated. A conformational study of this onium intermediate and a thermal unimolecular syn-elimination process may explain the stereoselectivity of the reaction. Such

Five ketones R1COCH2R2 (1a-e) were enolized in tetrahydrofuran solvent employing lithium arylamides with different electron-withdrawing and -donating substituents on the phenyl ring (4a-e). Enolate selectivity is unaffected by a moderate electron-releasing or -withdrawing group, but significantly enhanced by strong electron-withdrawing substituents to yield predominantly Z-enolate. Outstanding selectivity
