The aldol reaction using aldehyde-derived silyl enolates as nucleophiles with aromatic aldehydes chemoselectively proceeded in the presence of silyl triflate and 2,2'-bipyridyl to produce β-siloxy aldehydes, while the aliphatic aldehydes were completely recovered. The unprecedented chemoselectivities depend on the reactivities of the pyridinium-type intermediates derived from the aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes.

We report here the application of silyl enol ether moieties as efficient alkene coupling partners within cobalt-mediated intramolecular Pauson-Khand reactions. This cyclization strategy delivers synthetically valuable oxygenated cyclopentenone products in yields of ≤93% from both ketone- and aldehyde-derived silyl enol ethers, incorporates both terminal and internal alkyne partners, and delivers a variety of decorated systems, including more complex tricyclic structures. Facile removal of the silyl protecting group reveals oxygenated sites for potential further elaboration.

An efficient rhodium-catalyzed β-dehydroborylation of aldehyde-derived silyl enol ethers (SEEs) with bis(pinacolato)diboron (Bpin) is disclosed. The borylation reactions proceeded well with alkyl- and aryl-substituted SEEs, affording a wide array of valuable functionalized β-boryl silyl enolates with high efficiency and excellent stereoselectivity. Moreover, the borylated products, through versatile carbon-boron bond transformations, were readily converted into diverse synthetically useful molecules, including α-hydroxy ketones, functionalized SEEs, and -difunctionalized aldehydes.

Little-explored hydrosilylation of ketenes promoted by main-group catalysts is reported. The boron Lewis acid tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane accelerates the slow uncatalyzed reaction of ketenes and hydrosilanes, thereby providing a convenient access to the new class of β,β-di- and β-monoaryl-substituted aldehyde-derived silyl enol ethers. Yields are moderate to high, and Z configuration is preferred.

Facile and modular access to stereodefined disubstituted aldehyde-derived silyl enol ethers allowed their successful application in a stereoselective aldol reaction affording the products with excellent yields and diastereomeric ratios. The counter-intuitive stereochemical behavior of this Mukaiyama-aldol reaction is accounted for by a non-classical open transition state.

An in situ generated cationic Ir-catalyst isomerizes simple allylic silyl ethers into valuable, fully substituted aldehyde-derived silyl enol ethers. Importantly, by judicious choice of substrate, either of the two possible stereoisomers of a given enolate derivative is accessible with complete stereoselectivity. One-pot isomerization-aldol and isomerization-allylation processes illustrate the synthetic utility of this method.
