Abstract

Tellurol esters having an anion stabilizing group at the position a to the carbonyl, such as aryl-,(phenylthiol-, and (benzyloxy) ethanetelluroates, gave enol silyl ethers of the corresponding acylsilanes in good to excellent yields upon treatment with 2 equiv of" BuLi in the presence of chlorosilanes. This reaction was stereoselective, and 2-isomers were obtained as sole or major products from a variety of chlorosilanes, such as trimethyl-, ...
