A new selective synthetic method of enol esters (O-acylated products) from silyl enol ether and acid chloride in the presence of CuCl is described. This reaction proceeds smoothly in DMI (1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone) but not in a less polar solvent. The silicon-copper exchange reaction pathway is proposed for this transformation as in the cases of hydrosilane and alkynylsilane which were previously

Enolesters can be epoxidized with high enantioselectivities using the fructose-derived chiral ketone 1 as catalyst and Oxone as oxidant. A detailed study of enantiomerically enriched enolesterepoxides has revealed that the acid-catalyzedrearrangement can proceed through two distinct pathways, one with retention of configuration and the other with inversion. The competition between the two pathways
