1-Phenyl-1-trimethylsiloxyethylene has been used in the synthesis of β-amino ketones in water via Mannich-type reaction and cis-2,6-disubstituted dihydropyrans via three-component, one-pot cascade reaction. It is also used as chemical additives and intermediates.
1-Phenyl-1-trimethylsiloxyethylene is a styrene type silyl enol ether, reacts with formaldehyde and 2,4-pentanedione to yield the corresponding dihydropyran. It also undergoes Mukaiyama aldol reaction with aldehydes in water in the presence of amphiphilic calix[6]arene derivatives as surfactants.
