36. It should be noted that methyl ketone derived trichlorosilyl enolates are less reactive than the cyclohexanone derived enolate 4. In a control experiment, the trichlorosilyl enolate derived from methyl n-butyl ketone and 4-phenylbenzaldehyde were stirred at -78 °C for 2 h, providing only 4% of the corresponding aldol adduct, with 95% recovery of the unchanged aldehyde after column chromatography.
