| Research Abstract |
Most of organosilicon reagents have a trimethylsilyl (TMS) group or a more bulky triorganosilyl group. Synthetic utility of silicon reagents bearing a less bulky silyl group has remained unexplored. We have found that dimethylsilyl (DMS)-protected nucleophiles are more reactive than TMS-protected nucleophiles. For example, in the presence of CaCl_2, ketone DMS enolates added smoothly to aldehydes at 30℃ in DMF to give aldols in high yield. Under the same conditions, the corresponding TMS enolates did not react with aldehydes at all. In the reaction of DMS enolates, CaCl_2 would serve as Lewis base to activate the enolates by nucleophilic attack of the silicon by the chloride ion. DMS enolates are useful for the Mannich-type reaction of N-tosylimines and the Michael reaction of a-enones. Similarly, α-DMS-esters are more reactive than the corresponding TMS-based reagents. In the presence of metal chlorides (LiCl, MgCl_2, etc.), aldehydes and ketones underwent efficient aldol reactions of α-DMS-esters.
In general, hydrosilanes do not react spontaneously with carbon electrophiles ; however, their reducing ability can be drawn by activation of the substrates or themselves. A proper choice of activator enables fine control of the reduction process. We have found that PhSiH_3 reacts with haloalkanes in the presence of In(OAc_3) to form the dehalogenated alkanes. This reduction would involve a radical chain mediated by indium hydride species. The PhSiH_3-In(OAc_3) system is applicable to intermolecular radical addition of haloalkanes to electron-deficient alkenes. Additionally, it is valuable also for reductive aldol reaction of a-enones with aldehydes. In this case, a plausible mechanism consists of ionic 1,4-reduction of a-enones with indium hydride species and aldol reaction of the resultant indium enolates.
