Synthesis and Fluoride-Promoted Wittig Rearrangements of α-Alkoxysilanes
摘要:
[GRAPHICS]Lewis acid-catalyzed reaction of allyl and benzyl trichloroacetimidates with alpha-silyl alcohols was found to be a general method for the synthesis of alpha-alkoxysllanes. Upon exposure to CsF, these alpha-alkoxysilanes could be made to undergo [2,3]-Wittig rearrangement with an efficiency similar to that realized by the analogous but inherently more toxic alpha-alkoxystannanes.

Upon exposure to s-BuLi, benzyloxyallylsilane undergoes an unusually rapid and efficient [1,4]-Wittig rearrangement. Herein we describe efforts aimed at trapping the intermediate alpha-carbanion with an electrophile prior to rearrangement. The results of these experiments indicate that alpha-deprotonation and bond reorganization are separate events. Findings herein further indicate that the future success of benzyloxyallylsilanes in [1,4]-Wittig rearrangements will likely hinge on the acidity of the benzylic protons. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
