Title: Electrogenerated Acid-Catalyzed Michael Reaction of Enol Silyl Ethers and Ketene Silyl Acetals to α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds
Abstract: Abstract 1,5-Dicarbonyl compounds and their enol silyl ethers were prepared by the reaction of α,β-unsaturated ketones and enol silyl ethers or ketene silyl acetals by using an electrogenerated acid (EG acid) as a catalyst. Similar reaction of 1-trimethylsiloxy-1,3-butadiene with enones produced six-membered adducts as the result of a double-Michael process.
