Significance

This work discloses a three-component coupling for the preparation of trisubstituted silyl enol ethers from α-silyl α,β-unsaturated ­ketones, organocopper reagents, and organic ­halides. The reaction proceeds with complete ­regio- and stereoselectivity and is found to be general for α-silylvinyl ketones as well as aliphatic primary and secondary ketones.
