Abstract

The use of 2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,4-dihydropyrazine achieves a salt-free stereoselective synthesis of silyl enol ethers from α-halo carbonyl compounds. In this reaction, easily removable tetramethylpyrazine and trimethylsilyl halides were generated as byproducts. The inertness of the reaction byproducts enables one-pot transformations of the in situ generated silyl enol ethers into various α-functionalized carbonyls.
