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
