α-disubstituted aldehydes condense with electron-rich aromatic aldehydes to yield β,β-disubstituted styrenes. More electron-rich aromatic aldehydes react more rapidly and in higher yield. Preliminary results suggest that the reaction may proceed via the ionization and formal deformylation of an aldol intermediate.
在三甲基甲
硅烷基
三氟甲磺酸酯 (TMSOTf) 和 2,6-二
甲基吡啶存在下,α,α-二取代醛与富电子芳香醛缩合生成 β,β-二取代
苯乙烯。更多的富电子芳香醛反应更快,产率更高。初步结果表明,该反应可能通过醛醇中间体的离子化和形式去甲酰化进行。
