Thermal rearrangements of .alpha.-(acyloxy)silanes: formation of chiral precursors and migratory preference of silicon-based groups
摘要:
The asymmetric reduction of acylsilanes to chiral alpha-hydroxysilanes and the thermal rearrangement of the corresponding chiral alpha-acetoxysilanes was explored. IpcBCl reduces many acylsilanes in > 95% ee. The rate of the thermal rearrangement of the alpha-acetoxysilanes was dependent upon the substituents at both silicon and carbon. Evidence is presented to indicate there is electron deficiency at the alpha-carbon in the transition state. Migratory aptitudes follow those expected on the basis of the migrating group assuming an apical migratory group at a pentacoordinate silicon. A previously unreported hydrolytic transformation of a proposed acylsilyl hydride to a stable 1-sila-1,2-diol was observed.

Chiralsecondary carbinols are prepared in high enantiomeric excess by a new process involving the reduction of acylsilanes and utilising a thermal rearrangement of α-acetoxy silanes.
