Abstract

It was found that rhenium complex is an effective catalyst for the reaction of carbonyl compounds with ketene silyl acetals. A wide range of β-silyloxy esters is obtained by the treatment of carbonyl compounds with ketene silyl acetals in the presence of a catalytic amount of ReBr (CO) 5 in moderate to good yields.
