Rhodium-catalyzed transformation of propargyl alcohol derivatives to 2-silylmethyl-2-alkenals
摘要:
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.

alkynol characterised by two alkyl groups on the propargyl carbon atom, significant amounts of the aldehydes were observed for secondary alcohols. In these cases, the use of ortho-substituted arylsilanes improved the chemoselectivity towards the α-methylene-β-lactones. Such molecules were then successfully converted into α-methylaryl-β-lactones by a fluoride-induced rearrangement of the aryl group that migrates
