9. (a) Nayori has characterized a sulfonium enolate of 1-phenyl-2-propanone obtained by reaction of a silyl enol ether with fluoride. Additionally, in a less pure form, he has similarly generated a tetrabutylammonium enolate.

19. (a) This seems to be increasingly of interest. Perhaps it is not remarkable that our 1955 concept has been rediscovered twice (refs 11b-h) and that the rediscoveries are often cited and the original work overlooked (e.g., note ref 11i).
