1,4-Silatropy of S-α-Silylbenzyl Thioesters: A Convenient Route to Silyl Enol and Dienol Ethers Accompanied by C−C Bond Formation via Thiocarbonyl Ylides
摘要:
A novel convenient method for the generation of thiocarbonyl ylides from readily accessible starting materials and the first synthetic application of in situ generated ylides in the synthesis of silyl enol and dienol ethers, accompanied by C-C bond formation, is described. Under completely neutral conditions without any catalyst or additive, thermal reactions of S-alpha-silylbenzyl thioesters in sealed tubes at 180 degreesC provided silyl enol and dienol ethers in good to excellent yields with high stereoselectivities. This procedure consists of a multistep reaction in a one-pot process, i.e., 1,4-silatropy of S-alpha-silylbenzyl thioesters to give thiocarbonyl ylides, 1,3-electrocyclization of the ylides to give thiiranes, and the extrusion of sulfur from thiiranes to give silyl enol and dienol ethers.

A new method for the regioselective preparation of silyl enol ethers from acyloin derivatives using silyllithium reagents has been developed. Both dimethylphenyl- and methyldiphenylsilyllithium were found to be effective, the latter providing greater stereocontrol. The reaction is believed to proceed via Brook rearrangement assisted by expulsion of the adjacent leaving group. A number of acyclic acyloin
