Abstract

A Ti-crossed Claisen condensation between ketene silyl (thio)acetals and acid chlorides gave α-monoalkylated (thio)esters and thermodynamically unfavorable α,α-dialkylated β-keto (thio)esters in good yield. Addition of N-methylimidazole enhances the reactivity of less reactive ketene silyl acetals. The protocol was extended to the direct condensation of ketene silyl acetals with carboxylic acids.
