Retro Claisen cleavage of α-nitrocycloalkanones using trimethylsilylmethylmagnesium chloride (Peterson reagent): Synthesis of functionalized β-keto-trimethylsilanes.
摘要:
Beta-ketosilanes, bearing a nitro functionality, can be prepared by nucleophilic ring cleavage of alpha-nitrocycloalkanones with the Peterson reagent. This high yielding process shows considerable chemoselectivity but fails with large rings (C(n)>7). This unusual reactivity is tentatively explained considering the silicon beta effect.
