Abstract

Reaction of 2- and 3-iodopropenoyltriphenylsilanes with unsaturated tin derivatives affords a mild and general entry to variously functionalized dienoylsilanes. The β-iodo derivative affords, under palladium catalyzed conditions, good yields of the expected compounds, while α-iodo propenoylsilane proved somewhat less reactive under these conditions. The α-iodo derivative could be anyway efficiently reacted with organozinc species to generate several α-branched propenoylsilanes.

Highlights

  • Since their first discovery by A.G.Brook, acylsilanes[1] have attracted a reasonable deal of attention, due to the striking differences of their reactional behaviour with respect to ordinary carbonyl compounds

  • Acylsilanes may undergo specific transformations of the -COSiMe3 moiety such as Brook rearrangement,[2] oxidation to carboxylic acids,[3] fluoride promoted

  • The presence of a double bond together with the acylsilane moiety provides an expansion of acylsilane synthetic potentialities, and opens the way to the possible construction of novel and more versatile synthons
