A new stereoselective synthesis of 2-subsdtituted 1,3-bis(trimethylsilyl)propene derivatives and their conversion to cyclopentane and cyclohexane derivatives
Ester on treatment with sodium salt of sulfone or sulfoxide afforded 2-substituted 1,3-bis(trimethylsily)propene in good yield, from which cyclopentane and cyclohexanederivatives bearing a trimethylsilyl group in the molecules were synthesized.
