Abstract
The factors influencing the site of attack of [(phenylthio)(trimethylsilyl) methyl] lithium (1) with enones were investigated. Cyclohexenone (2) was chosen as a model compound, and conjugate addition occurred in THF-HMPA or DME; this mode of addition was also promoted by a potassium counterion. When the reaction was carried out with other enones, conjugate addition in THF-HMPA or DME was only observed if the P-position or the a, p-unsaturated ...
