Ortho-(2-triethoxysilylethyl) derivatives of aryl ketones undergo oxidative desilylation with H2O2. Tetralone derivatives have served as model substrates for 14-2-(triethoxysilylethyl)-7-oxopodocarpanes, which have been converted into 2-arylethanols in a four-step sequence (BH3. BMS, H2O2, Et3SiH/CF3COOH, TBAF) without isolation of intermediate products (oxasilepin, diol, trifluoroacetate). Use of the 14-(2-diethoxysilylmethyl) analogue improved the overall yield significantly (75 versus 40%). Re-oxidation of ring B with CAN gave the Delta(5)-7-oxo derivative, which was converted into an enone-aldehyde by treatment with Collins' reagent. The conjugated alkene was reduced stereoselectively with SmI2, which, however, did not promote pinacol coupling of the resulting 1,5-keto aldehyde. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
