Silylene Transfer to Carbonyl Compounds and Subsequent Ireland−Claisen Rearrangements to Control Formation of Quaternary Carbon Stereocenters
dataset
posted on 2005-02-23, 00:00 authored by Stacie A. Calad, K. A. WoerpelIn this communication, we demonstrate that silylene transfer to carbonyl compounds provides a new method for regio- and stereoselective enolate formation. Silylene transfer to a range of α,β-unsaturated esters under silver-catalyzed conditions proved to be a general method for the formation of oxasilacyclopentenes containing a cyclic silyl ketene acetal functionality. These oxasilacyclopentenes are useful synthetic intermediates that can undergo facile and selective Ireland−Claisen rearrangements and aldol addition reactions to provide products with multiple contiguous stereocenters and quaternary carbon centers.
