Abstract

Reactivity of α-Trifluoromethanesulfonyl Esters, Amides and Ketones: Decarboxylative Allylation, Methylation, and Enol Formation. -The influence of the α-trifluoromethanesulfonyl group on the reactivity of carbonyl compounds is studied. Allylic α,α-dialkylated esters (I) undergo decarboxylative allylation. Ketones and amides are O-methylated in the presence of trimethylsilyldiazomethane. -(KONG, H. I.; GILL, M. A.; HRDINA, A.
