Abstract
The cerium(III) enolate derived from ethyl acetate was shown to undergo facile addition with ketones. With conjugated enones, 1,2-addition products were formed exclusively. Oxidative 1,3-oxygen transportation of these products provides an efficient route to synthetically useful β-ethoxycarbonylmethyl α,β-unsaturated ketones. Key words: cerium(III) ester enolate, addition, ketones.Keywords
