Abstract
The CuCl-catalyzed reaction of (1-bromo-2-propenyl)trimethylsilane with silyl enol ethers or ketene silyl acetals in a CH3CN solution was studied. A new method for the preparation of ketone and ester derivatives bearing a vinylsilane functionality at the γ-position was developed.
Keywords: Copper catalysis, ketene silyl acetal, silyl enol ether, vinylsilane, addition reaction, dehalogenation reaction
