✦ Synopsis
Enolates generated by treatment of silyl ketene acetals and enol ethers with fluoride ion sources add to nitroarenes to produce s H adducts that oxidize either with KMnO 4 to give substituted nitroarenes or with dimethyldioxirane to give substituted phenols. In the latter case the oxidation results in replacement of the nitro group with a hydroxy group. It was shown that high effectiveness of these reactions is not due to stabilization of the s H adducts via O-silylation but due to the nature of the accompanying cation.
