Tandem Chain Extension-Homoenolate Formation: The Formation of α-Methylated-γ-Keto Esters

Abstract

A tandem chain extension−homoenolate formation reaction is described. The treatment of β-keto esters with the Furukawa reagent followed by exposure to a catalytic amount of trimethylsilyl chloride provides access to an ester homoenolate.
