Protected β-Dicarbonyl Compounds: Alkylation of Trimethyl Silyl Enol Ethers with Tris-(Phenylseleno) Methane Mediated by Tin Tetrachloride

Abstract
β,β-Bis-(phenylseleno) carbonyl compounds were prepared by reacting the corresponding silyl enol ether with tris-(phenylseleno) methane in the presence of tin tetrachloride.
