    Aldehydes are converted into (E)-α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids using C,O,O-tris(trimethylsilyl)ketene acetal 1. This organosilicon reagent is easily generated from trimethylsilyl acetate, LDA, and chlorotrimethylsilane. The effectiveness of the reaction has been explored for a large variety of aldehydes with Lewis acids and fluorides as catalysts.

    Synthesis of ketene silyl acetals with high (E)- and (Z)-stereochemistry is achieved by increasing the size of alkoxy group or by employing an excess amount of esters over LDA.

    A remarkable bicyclic acetal template effect is responsible for the complete 1,2-trans stereoselectivity achieved in Lewis acid promoted allylations of 1,2-O-isopropylidene-protected furanosides [Eq. (1)]. This stereoselectivity occurs regardless of the other substituents on the tetrahydrofuran ring. The bicyclic acetal acts as a basic, stable anomeric protecting group, and activates the carbohydrate anomeric position and directs the stereochemical outcome of the substitution reaction at this center.

    The condensation of C,O,O-tris(trimethylsilyl)ketene acetal 1 with aldehydes 2 in the presence of catalytic amounts of mercuric iodide at room temperature affords syn and anti beta-trimethylsiloxy alpha-trimethylsilyl alkanoic acid silyl esters 3 in good yields. These new compounds gave, under acidic or basic conditions, E and (or) Z enoic acids 4. The paths for the formation of these alkenoic acids are discussed.

    Aigialone (1) and aigialospirol (2), two structurally unique compounds, were isolated from the mangrove fungus Aigialus parvus BCC 5311. The structure of the new ketene acetal 1 was elucidated by spectral analysis, and its relative stereochemistry was determined by X-ray crystallography. The stereochemistry of aigialospirol (2), elucidated by NMR spectral analysis, suggested that this compound is possibly derived from hypothemycin (3), a metabolite previously isolated from this same fungus.

    A convenient O-triethylsilylation with dimethylketene triethylsilyl methyl acetal (1), which is prepared in excellent yield by catalytic hydrosilylation of methyl metacrylate is reported. Primary alcohols react readily at room temperature. Hindered alcohols are rapidly silylated in the presence of a trace amount of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. For phenols heating with or without solvent is required.
