Description

General description

Reaction of ethyl trimethylsilylacetate (ETSA) with dilute hydrochloric acid, dilute alkali, anhydrous HCl, anhydrous bromine and absolute ethanol has been reported[1]. ETSA undergoes condensation with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of base catalyst to yield β-trimethylsiloxycarboxylates[2]. Lithium ETSA reacts with ketones to yield α,β-unsaturated esters[3].

Application

Ethyl trimethylsilylacetate (ETSA) was used in the synthesis of ethyl-2,2-dibromo-2-(trimethylsilyl)acetate[4]. It was also used to silylate the enolizable aldehydes and ketones[5]
