Formylsilanes. Chemoenzymic and chemical synthesis of the 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones of these apparently air- and water-stable compounds
摘要:
Formylsilanes have long been reported to be notoriously unstable compounds. In fact, no formylsilane has been reported that was stable in air or in water nor are there any known hydrates, imines, or hydrazones of formylsilanes. We have found that monoamine oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of (aminomethyl)-tert-butyl-dimethylsilane in aqueous buffer at pH 9 to give, apparently, either formyl-tert-butyldimethylsilane or the corresponding hydrate, which is isolated as the 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone. The chemical synthesis of this same compound and the corresponding formyltrimethylsilane was carried out in low yields by a standard route to acylsilanes but in good yields by a new route involving conversion of (1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)tri-n-butylstannane to the corresponding silanes followed by acid hydrolysis. Although the formylsilane could not be isolated, it or its hydrate apparently is stable enough in water to survive incubation for several hours prior to the 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine trapping reaction.
Substitution of the acetoxy groups of dialkoxymethylacetates by organometallic reagents: a route to allyl-, propargyl-, homoallyl-, homopropargyl- and α-stannylacetals
The substitution of the acetoxy groups of dialkoxymethylacetates by organometallicreagents has been examined in a search for new methods of preparing functional acetals. The efficiency of the substitution of the acetoxy group is highly dependent on the nature of the organometallicreagents: soft nucleophiles with strong electrophilic assistance by the counterion are the best reagents. Allyl-, propargyl-

The reactions of stannyl substituted acetals with olefins resulted in the elimination of both the triorganostannyl group and the alkoxy group on the same carbon, and the production of the corresponding alkoxycyclopropanes in good yields. The stereospecificity of the present reaction suggests that γ-elimination of tin is very fast.
diethoxymethyltributyltin affords a large variety of new α-stannylacetals, which are expected to have a high potential for selective organic synthesis when they contain labile or chiral alkoxy groups. The α-stannylacetals can be converted into the corresponding substituted α-stannyl-ethers by treatment with organoaluminium halides or by use of an acetyl chloride/Grignardreagent sequence. The study has concentrated
