Abstract

Abstract Image

Potassium, calcium, and mixed potassium−calcium amide combinations have been shown to be efficient reagents in enolization reactions, and a set of representative intermediate mono- and heterobimetallic enolates have been successfully isolated and crystallographically characterized.
