Abstract
The application of (trimethylsilyl)ethyl ester protected enolates in palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation provides a variety of α-quaternary six- and seven-membered ketones and lactams. The use of (trimethylsilyl)ethyl ester protected enolates offers enhanced allyl substrate scope relative to traditional β-ketoester substrates and is suitable for complex fragment coupling.
