A Novel Stereoselective Reaction Cascade Leading fromα-Silylated Allylic Alcohols to Aldol-Type Products
摘要:
The treatment of alpha-silylated allylic alcohols with epoxidizing reagents afforded in a highly stereocontrolled fashion a-silylated aldols. The transformation is proposed to proceed either by a reaction cascade involving stereospecific epoxidation of the allylic-alcohol moiety followed by an acid-supported pinacol-type rearrangement, or by a sequence consisting of a pi-face-selective electrophilic attack at the allylic silane moiety with hyperconjugative stabilization of the evolving carbocation, followed by rearrangement of the thus obtained pentacoordinated silanium ion (see Scheme 3). Depending on the reaction conditions, the pi-face selectivity of the oxidation step is controlled by the: stereogenic C-atom or the more remote Si-center of chirality.
C-silyl enol ethers or thioenolethers have been prepared by a Peterson reaction, as intermediates for acylsilane synthesis. Bis(trialkylsilyl)(methoxy)- or -(methylsulfanyl)methanes bearing identical or different trialkylsilyl groups were used as starting materials in order to assess the selectivity of the Peterson elimination step. A good selectivity was observed only with ethers bearing the TMS

The First General Method for<i> Z</i>-Selective Olefination of Acylsilanes via Ynolate Anions Providing Multisubstituted Alkenes
We have developed the first general method for a stereoselective olefination of acylsilanes via ynolate anions to produce (Z)-beta-silyl-alpha,beta-unsaturated ester, which leads to tri- and tetrasubstitutedalkenes.
