                                    Methylation of methyl 4-phenylpentanoate 25 gives the
 diastereoisomers methyl
 (2RS,4SR
 )-2-methyl-4-phenylpentanoate 26 and methyl
 (2RS,4RS)-
 2-methyl-4-phenylpentanoate 27 in a ratio of 44∶56. The
 aldehydes 3-dimethyl(phenyl)silylbutanal 28,
 3-dimethyl(phenyl)silyl-3-phenylpropanal 32 and
 3-dimethyl(phenyl)silyl-4-methylpentanal 36, each of which has a
 stereogenic centre on C-3 carrying a silyl group and successively also a
 methyl, a phenyl and an isopropyl group, react with a range of methyl,
 phenyl and isopropyl nucleophiles to give pairs of diastereoisomeric
 secondary alcohols 40–42, 47–49 and 54–56 having 1,3
 related stereocentres. The same alcohols 43–45, 50–52 and
 57–59 are also prepared by reduction of the corresponding ketones
 29–31, 33–35 and 37–39 with a range of hydride
 reagents, and three of the ketones, 31, 35 and 39, react with
 phenyllithium to give mixtures of the tertiary alcohols 46, 53 and 60.
 The (E)- and
 (Z)-α,β-unsaturated methyl esters, 61, 62,
 64, 65, 67 and 68, prepared from the same three aldehydes with
 methoxycarbonylmethyltriphenylphosphorane, react with the
 phenyldimethylsilyl-cuprate and -zincate reagents to give
 diastereoisomeric pairs of 1,3-disilylated esters. Likewise, the
 α,β-unsaturated dimethyl diesters, 63, 66 and 69, prepared
 from the same three aldehydes with dimethyl malonate, react with
 phenyldimethylsilyllithium and the corresponding cuprate and zincate
 reagents to give diastereoisomeric pairs of 1,3-disilylated diesters,
 and with various methyl and phenyl nucleophiles to give the
 corresponding pairs of diastereoisomeric diesters with stereogenic
 centres at C-3 and C-5. The relative stereochemistry of all but two of
 the products having 1,3-related stereocentres has been proved by
 silyl-to-hydroxy conversion using mercuric acetate and peracetic acid to
 give the corresponding alcohols or their derived lactones.An attempt to identify a purely steric rule by which it might be
 possible to predict which diastereoisomer would be the major product in
 each of these reactions was based on arguments about, and molecular
 mechanics calculations of, the lowest-energy conformations of the
 starting materials. The only rule that emerges is that ketones are
 regularly attacked in sense B, defined in the drawings 21 and 23, in a
 conformation that minimises the interaction between the group M on the
 stereogenic centre and the group R1 on the other side of the
 ketone, but even within this group of reactions, phenyl groups in either
 or both locations sometimes lead to anomalies.Krapcho reactions take place more rapidly and in higher yield
 using four equivalents of lithium chloride in place of the usual sodium
 chloride, and adding two equivalents of water to the DMSO.

4-苯基戊酸甲酯 25 甲酯化,得到非对映异构体(2RS,4SR )-2-甲基-
4-苯基戊酸甲酯 26 和(2RS,4RS)-2-甲基-
4-苯基戊酸甲酯 27,比例为 44∶56。3-二甲基(苯基)

丁醛 28、3-二甲基(苯基)
硅基-3-苯基
丙醛 32 和 3-二甲基(苯基)
硅基-
4-甲基戊醛 36,每种醛的 C-3 上都有一个带有
硅基的立体中心,并先后带有一个甲基、一个苯基和一个异丙基、与一系列的甲基、苯基和异丙基亲核物反应,得到一对非对映异构的仲醇 40-42、47-49 和 54-56,它们具有 1,3 个相关的立体中心。同样的醇 43-45、50-52 和 57-59 也可以通过相应的酮 29-31、33-35 和 37-39 与一系列
氢化物试剂发生还原反应来制备,其中三个酮 31、35 和 39 与
苯基锂发生反应,得到叔醇 46、53 和 60 的混合物。
 (E)-和(Z)-α,β-不饱和甲基酯 61、62、64、65、67 和 68 由相同的三种醛与甲氧羰基甲基
三苯基膦制备而成,它们与苯基二甲基
硅琥珀酸酯试剂和
锌酸试剂反应,得到非对映异构的 1,3-二
硅烷化酯对。同样,由相同的三种醛与

硅烷基
锂及相应的
铜酸盐和
锌酸盐试剂发生反应,生成一对非对映异构的 1,3-二
硅烷基二酯,与各种甲基和苯基亲核剂发生反应,生成相应的一对非对映异构的二酯,其立体中心位于 C-3 和 C-5。除了两种具有 1,3 相关立体中心的产物外,其他所有产物的相对立体
化学性质都已通过使用
乙酸巯基和
过乙酸进行
硅基-羟基转换而得到相应的醇或其衍生内酯得到证实。出现的唯一规则是,酮在图 21 和图 23 中定义的 B 意义上经常被攻击,其构象使立体中心上的基团 M 与酮另一侧的基团 R1 之间的相互作用最小,但即使在这组反应中,苯基在任一位置或两个位置有时也会导致异常。
