摘要

[formula: see text] The zinc enolates, resulting from the copper-catalyzed enantioselective conjugate addition of dialkyl zinc reagents to cyclic and acyclic enones, could be trapped, quantitatively, as silyl enol ethers with TMSOTf in apolar solvents or with TMSCI and NEt3. These enantiomerically enriched silyl enol ethers were submitted to four synthetic transformations to show their synthetic utility. The zinc enolates obtained from acyclic enones were found to be configurationally stable, as shown by the stereochemistry of the silyl enol ethers.
