I know that if I treat a ketone like cyclohexanone with SiMe3Cl I'll get a sylil enol ether.
Now is this process quantitative?
Or in the solution I have some cyclohexanone and some silyl enol ether.... ?? Because in this case I also get the self condensation product in a crossed aldol condensation
(I think that with silyl enol ether the self condensation should be minimal because looking to wikipedia I've seen that in order to avoid a self condensation of an aldehyde I should convert it in a silyl enol ether! )
thanks
