A diastereoselective synthesis 1-trimethylsilyl-(E)-1,3-alkenynes and a simple synthesis of alkyl trimethylsilylethynyl ketones via organoboranes

摘要

A convenient,novel diastereoselective synthesis of 1-trimethylsilyl-(E)- 1,3-alkenynes and a convenient synthesis of alkyl trimethylsilylethynyl ketones based on Z-1-bromo-l-alkenylboronate esters are developed.alpha-Bromo-(Z)-l-alkenylboronate esters readily available using literature procedures smoothly undergo a reaction with trimethylsilylethynyllithium (derived from the deprotonation of trimethylsilylethyne with n-butyllithium) in tetrahydrofuran to provide the corresponding 'ate' complexes.These 'ate' complexes undergo intramolecular nucleophilic substitution reactions to afford the corresponding (E)-l-alkenylboronate esters containing trimethylsilylethynyl moiety which upon protonolysis with acetic acid provide the corresponding 1-trimethyl-silyl-(E)-l,3-alkenynes in good yields (70-82%) and in high stereochemical purities (>98%).These intermediates upon oxidation with hydrogen peroxide and sodium acetate afford the corresponding alkyl trimethylsilylethynyl ketones in good yields (66-78%).
