Abstract

Condensation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds with γ-trimethylsilylmethylallylzircocene followed by anionic oxy-Cope rearrangement provided a novel method for the synthesis of functionalized allylsilanes compounds possessing a carbonyl group in the same molecule, which are versatile intermediates for intramolecular allylsilylation, giving cyclopentanols on treatment with n-Bu4NF.

General Procedure for Preparation of 4-Trimethyl-silylmethyl-1,5-dien-3-ols: Under a N2 atmosphere at -78 °C, to a stirred suspension of Cp2Zr(H)Cl (2 mmol) in CH2Cl2(5 mL) was added allene 1 (3 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (3 mL). The reaction was gradually warmed up to r.t., resulting in a red solution. The reaction was re-chilled to -78 °C (or 0 °C), to which a solution of aldehyde (or ketone) (1 mmol) in CH2Cl2(5 mL) was added. After 30 min, the reaction was quenched by adding sat. aq NaHCO3. Extractive workup followed by purification (SiO2 preparative TLC, hexane) gave 4 and 5. Selected Data of 4e: IR(neat): 1930, 11875, 1600, 1490, 1450, 1410, 1375, 1325, 1175, 1060, 853 cm-1. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 6.54 (d, J = 8.0Hz, 1 H), 6.34 (d, J = 8.0 Hz, 1 H), 5.56 (ddd, J = 16.4, 10.8, 9.6 Hz, 1 H), 5.19 (d, J = 10.8 Hz, 1 H), 5.17 (d, J = 16.4 Hz, 1 H), 2.28(m, 1 H), 2.2.02 (br s, 2 H), 1.54 (m, 1 H), 1.35 (s, 3 H), 0.98 (m, 1 H), 0.63 (m, 1 H), 0.08 (s, 9 H). 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 140.7, 136.5, 136.2, 132.0, 128.4, 127.4, 121.4 118.6, 75.4 52.3, 26.3, 17.4, 0.35.

General Procedure for Preparation of 7:
KH (30% dispersion in mineral oil, 5 mmol) was washed with anhyd hexanes and suspended in THF (8 mL) to which I2 (0.15 mmol) and 4-trimethylsilylmethyl-1,5-dien-3-ol (1 mmol) were added and the mixture was stirred at r.t. for 7 h. Upon cooling to 0 °C, the reaction mixture was quenched by adding 10% aq NH4Cl solution and the aq layer extracted with Et2O (3 × 10 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with sat. NaCl, dried over anhyd MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. Purification by flash chromatography (hexane-EtOAc = 15:1) gave allylsilane.
