Abstract

1-Substituted allenylsilanes reacted with 3-alkoxycyclobutanones in the presence of TiCl4 to afford 8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-ones stereoselectively. Nucleophilic attack of allenylsilanes to a 1,4-zwitterionic intermediate formed from 3-alkoxycyclobutanones and TiCl4­ followed by 1,2-silyl migration, five-membered cyclization with an alkoxy group, and seven-membered cyclization of titanium enolate was proposed. Deuteration and one-pot Peterson olefination suggested that alkyl titanium species were formed after cyclization to 8-oxabi­cyclo[3.2.1]octane skeletons.
