Silicon Acceleration of a Tandem Alkene Isomerization/Electrocyclic Ring-opening of 2-Methyleneoxetanes to α,β-Unsaturated Methylketones
摘要:
The first rearrangement of 2-methyleneoxetanes to alpha,beta-unsaturated methylketones is reported. It is proposed that when these substrates are heated, the corresponding oxetenes are formed and subsequently undergo electrocyclic ring-opening to methyl vinylketones. In particular, alpha-silyl-alpha,beta-unsaturated methylketones were isolated in moderate to high yields and with high stereoselectivities. Based on the proposed mechanism, density functional theory explains the differential kinetics and stereoselectivities among substrates.

It is proposed that when these substrates are heated, the corresponding oxetenes are formed and subsequently undergo electrocyclic ring-opening to methyl vinylketones. In particular, alpha-silyl-alpha,beta-unsaturated methylketones were isolated in moderate to high yields and with high stereoselectivities. Based on the proposed mechanism, density functional theory explains the differential kinetics and stereoselectivities among substrates.
