     Since research on the total synthesis of carotenoids began, the enol ether and the aldol condensations have been frequently used for the formation of carbon-carbon double bonds.

   • 2004, J. E. Carruthers, W. Carruthers, Iain Coldham, Modern Methods of Organic Synthesis, Cambridge University Press, 4th Edition, page 29,

     A solution to the use of the thermodynamic ketone enolate lies in the selective formation and reaction of silyl enol ethers.

   • 2009, Jason Eames, 8: Acid-base properties of enols and enolates, Jacob Zabicky (editor), The Chemistry of Metal Enolates, Part 1, Wiley, page 421,

     It is interesting to note that relative enol stability (pK_E) plays little or no role in the relative acidity of enols for example, as in the case of 45 and 45’²⁴³.

Etymology

Entered in the 1500s from French alcohol or Spanish alcohol, derived from the Medieval Latin rendering alcohol transmitted in medical or alchemical literature of Arabic ?????????? (al-ku?l, “kohl”), which in Andalusian Arabic also bore the form ??????? (ku??l), ??????? (qu??l); bearing thus the meaning of stibnite first, then generalized in meaning to a powder obtained by triturating a material, then also to liquids obtained by boiling down, and specialized to mean spirit of wine, ethanol, in the 18th century, then the narrow chemical sense after 1850.

Doublet of alcool and kohl.
