- Silyl enol ether can form by capturing any enolate formed in a nucleophilic conjugate addition.
- A rather exotic way to generate silyl enol ethers is via the Brook rearrangement of appropriate substrates.

Famous quotes containing the words organic and/or synthesis:
“A special feature of the structure of our book is the monstrous but perfectly organic part that eavesdropping plays in it.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“If in the opinion of the Tsars authors were to be the servants of the state, in the opinion of the radical critics writers were to be the servants of the masses. The two lines of thought were bound to meet and join forces when at last, in our times, a new kind of regime the synthesis of a Hegelian triad, combined the idea of the masses with the idea of the state.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
