Abstract

Conditions for metalation of a variety of cyclic vinyl ethers and reaction of the resulting carbanions with electrophiles are described. Effects of the vinyl ether structure on the relative rates of metalation are discussed. Applications of this methodology to the construction of various types of carbonyl compounds are presented.
