An efficient, regio- and enantioselective synthesis of α-substituted β-amino ketones has been developed. Starting from simple ketones, enantiomerically pure α-silyl ketones la-j were prepared employing the SAMP/RAMPhydrazonemethodology. The cyclic α-silyl ketones 1a-e were selectively converted to the silyl enol ethers (Z)-2a-e, whereas the cyclic α-silyl ketones 1f-j were obtained exclusively as
