Abstract

Ethyl 3-methyl-2-trimethylsilyl-3-butenoate (3) undergoes reaction selectively at carbon 4, upon treatment with a Lewis acid and carbonyl compounds, acetals/ketals, acid chlorides, and chloromethyl phenyl sulfide. This overall conversion represents a highly selective gamma substitution on an α,β-unsaturated ester.
