A Mild Method for Indium(III)-Catalyzed 1,4-Hydrosilylation of α,β-Enone Esters with Triethylsilane and Trifluoroacetic Acid

Abstract

A chemo- and stereoselective 1,4-hydrosilylation of α,β-enone esters was developed using triethylsilane and trifluoroacetic acid under indium chloride catalysis.

Key words

1,4-hydrosilylation - α,β-enone ester - indium chloride - triethylsilane - silyl enol ether
