Abstract
Ketones readily undergo conversion to enol silanes in the presence of a trialkylamine base and trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate and add to propargyl cations, which are generated in situ through a TMSOTf-promoted ionization of propargyl carboxylates. A range of enol silane precursors and propargyl carboxylates reacts efficiently to provide β-alkynyl ketones in good yields.
