Preparation of Monosilyl Acetals from Esters via iBu2AlH Reduction and Trapping with N-(Trimethylsilyl)imidazole. Addition of Allyltrimethylsilane To Yield Homoallylic Alcohols or Ethers
摘要:
Alkyl esters were reduced with iBu(2)AlH or a 1:1 mixture of iBu(2)AlH and iBu(3)Al (iBu(2)AlH . iBu(3)Al or iBu(5)Al(2)H), followed by trapping of the resulting tetrahedral intermediate with TMS-imidazole to produce monosilyl acetals. Reaction of the mixed acetals with allyltrimethylsilane in the presence of Lewis acids (Hosomi-Sakurai reaction) generated homoallylic alcohols or ethers selectively, depending on the substitution of the monosilyl acetal. TMS methoxy acetals (MeO-CH-OTMS) and TMS ethoxy acetals bearing additional complexing groups such as MeO- or Ph(2)C=N- provided alcohols with 1.5:1-9:1 threoselectivity, while simple TMS ethoxy acetals provided only ethyl ethers as products. The monosilyl acetal configuration was easily epimerized or racemized, and the configuration of the Hosomi-Sakurai product was apparently independent of the initial monosilyl acetal reactant configuration.
