Abstract

Aromatic ketones were converted to one-carbon elongated-vinylsilanes in a convenient one-pot operation via the Peterson protocol. Reactions were conducted in two different solvents for comparison: pentane and triethylamine. Results indicate that triethylamine appeared to be a more suitable solvent for such a transformation producing vinylsilanes with great chemo- and stereo-selectivity than pentane.
