Polymer allylsilane

In a second report by Blechert on the cross-metathesis of polymer-bound alkenes, an immobilised allylsilane 19 was reacted with a variety of highly func-... 

Only recently a selective crossed metathesis between terminal alkenes and terminal alkynes has been described using the same catalyst.6 Allyltrimethylsilane proved to be a suitable alkene component for this reaction. Therefore, the concept of immobilizing terminal olefins onto polymer-supported allylsilane was extended to the binding of terminal alkynes. A series of structurally diverse terminal alkynes was reacted with 1 in the presence of catalytic amounts of Ru.7 The resulting polymer-bound dienes 3 are subject to protodesilylation (1.5% TFA) via a conjugate mechanism resulting in the formation of products of type 6 (Table 13.3). Mixtures of E- and Z-isomers (E/Z = 8 1 -1 1) are formed. The identity of the dominating E-isomer was established by NOE analysis. 

The enantioselective addition of an allylsilane to an aldehyde catalyzed by chiral acyloxyborane (CAB) 13 is an excellent method for obtaining optically active homoallyl alcohols.Itsuno and Kumagai reported that the synthesis of a new optically active polymer with chirality on the mainchain is possible by applying this reaction to the asymmetric polymerization of bis(allylsilane) and dialdehyde (Scheme 12.11). ... 

Chiral (acyloxy)borane (CAB) is known as an effective chiral Lewis acid catalyst for enantioselective allylation of aldehydes. Marshall applied the CAB complex 1 to the addition of crotylstannane to achiral aldehydes and found that the CAB catalyst gives higher syn/anti selectivity than BINOL/Ti catalysts in the reaction [4]. CAB complex 2 was utilized in asymmetric synthesis of chiral polymers using a combination of dialdehyde and bis(allylsilane) [5] or monomers possessing both formyl and allyltrimethylsilyl groups [6]. 

Several methods promoted by a stoichiometric amount of chiral Lewis acid 38 [51] or chiral Lewis bases 39 [52, 53] and 40 [53] have been developed for enantioselective indium-mediated allylation of aldehydes and ketones by the Loh group. A combination of a chiral trimethylsilyl ether derived from norpseu-doephedrine and allyltrimethylsilane is also convenient for synthesis of enan-tiopure homoallylic alcohols from ketones [54,55]. Asymmetric carbonyl addition by chirally modified allylic metal reagents, to which chiral auxiliaries are covalently bonded, is also an efficient method to obtain enantiomerically enriched homoallylic alcohols and various excellent chiral allylating agents have been developed for example, (lS,2S)-pseudoephedrine- and (lF,2F)-cyclohex-ane-1,2-diamine-derived allylsilanes [56], polymer-supported chiral allylboron reagents [57], and a bisoxazoline-modified chiral allylzinc reagent [58]. An al-lyl transfer reaction from a chiral crotyl donor opened a way to highly enantioselective and a-selective crotylation of aldehydes [59-62]. Enzymatic routes to enantioselective allylation of carbonyl compounds have still not appeared. 

A polymer-supported allylsilane was prepared by the cross-metathesis of the simpler immobilized allylsilane and an olefin and was used as a new reagent for allylation of an acetal in the presence of TiCE (Eq. 71) [191]. 

Suginome and Ito have developed a reliable method for the synthesis of highly enantioenriched allyl- and allenylsilanes. The synthetic process involves 1,3-chirality transfer from homochiral allyl and propargyl alcohols through Pd-catalyzed intramolecular bis-silylation and subsequent Peterson-type elimination (Scheme 10.142) [395]. This method provides an efficient route to enantioenriched allylsilanes bearing a hydroxyalkyl group, which are very valuable as synthetic intermediates for diastereo- and enantioselective synthesis of heterocycies and carbocycles [396]. Polymer-supported highly enantioenriched allylsilanes have been prepared from enantioenriched allyl alcohols and a polymer-supported disilanyl chloride [397]. 

Aryl- and allylsilanes reacted with alkynes intramolecularly in the presence of HfCU catalyst to afford the corresponding trans-carbosilylated cyclic compounds. The reaction of phenylsilylalkyne (149) proceeded in exclusively exo-cyclization mode to afford cyclic ( )-vinylsilane (150) in a good yield (Equation 65) [71]. In the case of silylated enyne (151), only endo-dig cyclization proceeded to afford vinylcyclohexene (152) in excellent yield (Equation 66) [72]. The reaction was applied for the synthesis of disilanylene-containing polymers [73].
