Cross-coupling of dissimilar ketone enolates via enolonium species to afford non-symmetrical 1,4-diketones

Due to their closely matched reactivity, the coupling of two dissimilar ketone enolates to form a 1,4-diketone remains a challenge in organic synthesis. We herein report that umpolung of a ketone trimethylsilyl enol ether (1 equiv) to form a discrete enolonium species, followed by addition of as lit...
