The hydroperoxidation of alkylidenecyclopropanes and other strained alkenes using an N-hydroxylamine and molecular oxygen occurred in the absence of catalyst, initiator, or light. The oxidation reaction proceeds through a radical pathway that is initiated by autoxidation of the alkene substrate. The hydroperoxides were converted to their corresponding alcohols and ketones under mild conditions.

communication describes a direct route to functionalized nonracemic trans-dioxasilacyclooctenes that involves stereoselective silylene insertions into vinyl epoxides to provide vinyl silaoxetane intermediates. These strained allylic silanes then undergo uncatalyzed allylation of aldehydes to afford trans-dioxasilacyclooctenes. Diastereoselective additions to these alkenes allow efficient transfer of planar

Insertions of silylenes into the allylic carbon–oxygen bond of vinyl epoxides was shown to generate 1,2-silaoxetanes. These intermediates undergo highly diastereoselective additions to aldehydes to form anti-Bredt olefins and trans-dioxasilacyclooctenes. Additions of electrophiles could be performed selectively on the outside face of these strained trans-cycloalkenes to provide valuable functionalized compounds.

[GRAPHICS]Additions of terminal alkynes to electrophiles are important transformations in organic chemistry. Generally, activated terminal alkynes react with epoxides in an S(N)2 fashion to form homopropargylic alcohols. We have developed a new synthetic method to form propargylic alcohols from epoxides and terminal alkynes via 1,2-shifts. This method involves cationic zirconium acetylides as both the activator of epoxides and nucleophiles. line to the mild conditions to pre-activate alkynes with silver nitrate, this synthetic method is useful for both electron-rich and electron-deficient alkynes with other acid- and base-sensitive functional groups.
