Heaton et al., "Palladium(II)/[beta]-diketonate complexes containing the enolates of N-acetyl-3-acyltetramic acids: crystal structure of the Lewis base adduct, [Pd(py)4](abta)2," Inorganica Chimica Acta, vol.

Negative results obtained under the same aqueous conditions with other reactive electrophiles (see supporting information), including electrophiles known to give products in reaction with tropinone enolates (e.g., cyanoformate and chloroformates [19, 34]), suggest that aldehydes are privileged reagents in this context.

Stereoselective alkylation of chiral, non-racemic enolates by nitroolefins.

After a general introduction and glossary, they cover practical aspects of asymmetric synthesis; enolate azaenolate, and organolithium alkylations; 1,2-additions and 1,4-additions to C=X bonds; aldol and Micheal additions of allyls, enolates, and enolate equivalents; cycloadditions and rearrangements; reductions and hydroborations, and oxidations.
