1-phenylallyl pivalates was developed through reductive C(sp3)–Obondcleavage. This method represents the first example of the direct application of vastly abundant calcium granules to a reductive coupling reaction. A broad range of propargylsilanes and allylsilanes are simply prepared using easy-to-handle pivalates and chlorotrimethylsilane under mild catalyst-free and additive-free conditions.

Allylsilanes are prepared stereospecifically trans(10) or cis(12) and with complete regiocontrol by decarboxylative elimination of the β-hydroxy acids (9).
Silylation of allylic acetates (1) using organodisilanes (2) was carried out in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(DBA)2-LiCl at 100 degrees C. The silylation proceeded smoothly without beta-hydrogen elimination of. resulting (pi-allyl)palladium intermediate. The added chloride salt such as LiCl or NaCl was indispensable for the catalytic activity. On the other hand, remarkable improvement of the silylation was realized by employing allylic trifluoroacetates (4) in place of the acetates (1) as the substrates. The silylation proceeded even at room temperature, and the added chloride salts was not necessary as the catalyst component. In the silylation, transmetalation of the disilanes (2) with (eta(3)-allyl)palladium intermediate (7) might be a critical step in the catalytic cycle. Model reactions for the transmetalation were carried out.

Synthesis of Allylsilanes by Reductive Lithiation of Thioethers
Although much work in reductive lithiation has been done, the utilization of allylthioethers bearing various substituents to prepare allylsilanes has not been explored. The main reason clearly stems from the anticipated lack of regioselectivity. We describe herein the first study on the regioselectivity of the reductive silylation involving dissymmetric allylthioethers. We surveyed a broad spectrum of parameters and showed that this process displays a great dependence of the reaction conditions. We also discovered that an electron transporter, DBB or naphthalene, can cleave THF at room temperature by sonication, to generate a strong base, 4-lithiobutoxide. This feature was successfully exploited to the straightforward synthesis of bis-silanes in one pot. Examples are provided for maximizing both the chemical yield and the regioselectivity of the reductive silylation through the tuning of the reaction conditions. By changing these conditions, several allylsilanes can be selectively synthesized from one thioether.
