Abstract

Abstract The reaction of terminal acetylenic ketones with NaI or LiBr gave almost exclusively E-β-iodo-or E-β-bromovinyl ketones in trifluoroacetic acid, while Z-β-iodo-or Z-β-bromovinyl ketones were the major products in acetic acid. Trimethylsilyl iodide and bromide reacted smoothly with acetylenic ketones at− 78 C to give TMS-allenolates which were readily converted to β-iodo-and β-bromovinyl ketones, respectively.
