Abstract

The Peterson olefination describes the regioselective transformation of carbonyl compounds to olefins mediated by α-silyl carbanions and has been extensively studied since its discovery. This review provides an insight into the mechanism behind the Peterson olefination, and summarizes work conducted in this area over the last 20 years, including new methodologies and applications in total syntheses.
