Abstract
α,β-Unsaturated esters were selectively protected in situ in the presence of α,β-unsaturated Weinreb amides using PEt3 and trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) in toluene under reflux. Diisobutylaluminium hydride (DIBAL-H) reduction of the mixture followed by tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride (TBAF) treatment produced α,β-unsaturated aldehydes in good yields along with the recovered α,β-unsaturated esters.
