Abstract

(S)-N-(2-Pyrrolidinylmethyl) pyrrolidine/trifluoroacetic acid (3: 1) combination catalyzed the direct addition of alkyl methyl ketones to β-dimethyl (phenyl) silylmethylene malonate at the methyl terminal with high yield and excellent regio-and enantioselectivity. The silyl group played crucial roles in regioselection and substrate reactivity.
