Abstract

Alkylations of enolates are among the most useful carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions. While in most such reactions the desired product is the main product, scrambling reactions involving proton exchange between the alkylation products and bases generally reduce the yield and produce difficultly separable byproducts similar to (sometimes isomeric with) the desired product.'Many indirect ways of bringing about clean monoalkylation of enolates ...
