Silylation–desilylation of propargyl amides: rapid synthesis of functionalised aldehydes and β-lactams
摘要:
Propargyl functionalised beta-silylalkenals were easily prepared starting from suitable propargyl compounds by a silylformylation process. In particular the use of propargyl tosyl amides allowed the synthesis of alpha, beta-unsaturated aldehydes through a two-step sequence of silylformylation -desilylation reactions. TBAF was employed to induce the desilylation process that was performed under very mild experimental conditions and occurred along with an elimination step of the tosylamido moiety affording 2-methylaryl-2-alkenals with good yields and stereoselectivity. When the tosyl amides were reacted with a hydrosilane in the presence of catalytic amounts of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) alpha-silylmethylene-beta-lactams were synthesised through a silylcarbocyclisation process. A high chemoselectivity towards the b-lactam was observed when dialkyl propargyl amides were employed. The obtained b-lactams were easily transformed into the corresponding methylaryl-b-lactams by fluoride induced aryl migration -desilylation with total retention of configuration of the migrating group and complete stereoselectivity towards the more stable b-lactam (E)-isomer.

α,β-Unsaturated aldehydes are prepared from easily available propargyl amides through a two-step sequence of silylformylation–desilylation reactions. The substituent on the nitrogen atom markedly influences both reactions, β-silylalkenals being formed in the presence of tosyl or tert-butoxycarbonyl protected amines. TBAF is employed to induce the desilylation process that is performed under very mild
Propargyl-type alcohols (6) and the corresponding esters of carbonic acid (4) or acetic acid (5) react with two equivalents of Me2PhSiH in the presence of catalytic amounts of Rh-4(CO)(12) under CO pressure at 100 degrees C to give 2-(dimethylphenylsiIylmethyl)-2-alkenals (3), whereas 2-substituted-3-(dimethylphenylsilyl)propenals (7, 8 and 9) are also isolated with the concomitant formation of 3 when a similar reaction is operated with shortage of Me2PhSiH or with lowering of reaction temperature. The isolated 9 is selectively converted to 3 by the Rh-4(CO)(12) catalyzed reaction with Me2PhSiH under CO pressure. This fact suggests that the transformation of 4, 5 or 6 to 3 is accomplished by either a one-pot procedure or a stepwise procedure relayed by 7, 8 or 9. Usefulness of this protocol is demonstrated by the synthesis of 18 in which ethisterone (17) is directly converted by a one-pot procedure. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
Rhodium catalyzed transformation of propargylamines to 2-silylmethyl-2-alkenals: Formal silylformylation of allenes
Propargylamines are effectively transformed to 2-dimethylphenylsilylmethyl-2-alkenals by the interaction of two equivalents of Me2PhSiH under silylformylation conditions catalyzed by Rh4(CO)12. The products are not obtained directly by silylformylation of the corresponding allenes.
