Ring-opening silylformylation of oxetanes catalyzed by [RhCl(CO)2]2-amine
摘要:
With [RhCl(CO)(2)](2)-amine as catalyst, the reaction of oxetanes with a hydrosilane and carbon monoxide results in ring-opening silylformylation to give gamma-siloxy aldehydes in 42-83% yields. Addition of amines is essential for the silylformylation to proceed, and 1-methylpyrazole is the most effective additive among the amines examined. The ring-opening of 2-alkyloxetanes occurs predominantly at the primary carbon atom with regioselectivity of 95%.
