About the Stereoelectronics of the Intramolecular Addition of Allylsilanes to Aldehydes
摘要:
(Z)-omega -Trimethylsilyl-(omega -2)-alken-1-ols are readily accessible by consecutive superbase metalation and silylation of (omega -1)-alken-1-ols. These versatile intermediates may be oxidized to give the corresponding (Z)-omega -trimethylsilyl-(omega -2)-alkenals which, in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid, can be converted into 2-vinylcycloalkanols such as 2-vinylcyclohexanol (2), isopulegol (4), and bis(2 vinylcyclobutyl) ether (8). The stereochemical outcome of these cyclization reactions suggests the interference of a novel electrodynamic effect.
