42. Silyl enol ethers were formed from alkylated ketones. The alkylated ketone was treated with triethylsilyl chloride (1.3 equiv), triethylamine (1.6 equiv), and sodium iodide (1.3 equiv)in acetonitrile (0.63M) and isolated by silica gel chromatography in 46-78% yield, with 6-15% yield of the isomeric enol ether.
