The far-UV photochemistry of five- and six-membered-ring monosilacycloalkenes in alcohols: stereospecific .beta.-cleavage to silyl ethers and stereoselective formation of silacycloalkyl ethers
摘要:
Photoalcoholysis of 1,1-dimethylsilacyclopent-2-ene (9) at 214 nm in methanol, 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol, and tert-butyl alcohol affords alkoxy(3-butenyl)dimethylsilanes 11 and 3-alkoxy-1,1-dimethylsilacyclopentanes 12. Also formed are alkoxy(cyclopropylmethyl)silanes 13 from apparent 1,3-C migration. In pure, deuterated alcohols (CH3OD and CF3CD2OD) adducts It and 12 become trans deuterated, whereas in dilute solutions of methanol-O-d in pentane, scrambling of deuterium between the trans and cis C-2 positions of 12 is observed without corresponding loss of stereospecificity for formation of silyl ether 11. Silyl ether 11 is thus produced via a pathway which is mechanistically distinct from that giving 12, for which the loss of stereoselectivity in dilute alcohols is ascribed to pseudorotational scrambling of deuterium in a silacyclopentyl cation intermediate. At high concentrations of alcohol the trans-stereoselective deuteration of 12 can be attributed to least hindered anti attack of the alcohol at C-3 of this hyperconjugatively stabilized cation. High cis-stereoselective deuteration of 12 is observed for photolysis in dilute CF3CD2OD in pentane, possibly reflecting the intermediacy of an ion pair or unsymmetrically solvated silacyclopentyl cation. Photoalcoholyses of the silacyclohex-2-ene were conducted for comparison.
