Abstract
Treatment of iodo carbonates with LiHMDS at low temperature readily affords cyclic enol carbonates with either five- or six-membered rings. Reaction with potassium tert -butoxide results in the in situ formation of an enolate which after transmetallation participates in aldol or Mannich reactions. Alternatively, the potassium enolates can be trapped with silylating or triflating agents. The regio- and stereoselective generation of silyl enol ethers with up to four substituents can be achieved.
Key words
enols - aldol reactions - tandem reactions - stereoselectivity - regioselectivity

15 Purified by flash chromatography utilizing an eluent that contained 0.5% Et3 N. Trimethylsilyl and triethylsilyl triflates gave products of low stability.
16 To the best of our knowledge neither vinyl triflates nor silyl enol ethers containing a β-tert -butyl carbonate moiety have previously been prepared. Nor have the parent ketone compounds ever been used directly in an aldol or Michael reaction. This is perhaps a reflection of their base sensitivity
