Reagents allylstannane

The a-bromo-7-lactone 901 undergoes smooth coupling with the acetonyltin reagent 902 to afford the o-acetonyl-7-butyrolactone 903[763j. The o-chloro ether 904, which has no possibility of //-elimination after oxidative addition, reacts with vinylstannane to give the allyl ether 905, The o -bromo ether 906 is also used for the intramolecular alkyne insertion and transmetallation with allylstannane to give 907[764],... 

Allylstannanes can be prepared by treatment of allyl halides with trialkyl- or triaryltin lithium reagents. Displacement of primary allyl halides tends to be regioselective for formation of the less substituted allylstannane, and takes place with useful retention of double-bond geometry14-16. 

Allyltrialkoxy- or -tris(dialkylamino)titanium reagents are not capable of chelation-controlled addition reactions with oxy- or amino-substituted carbonyl compounds due to their low Lewis acidity87. To attain chelation control, the application of allylsilanes (Section 1.3.3.3.5.2.2.) and allylstannanes (Section I.3.3.3.6.I.3.2.) in the presence of bidentate Lewis acids like titanium(IV) chloride, tin(lV) chloride or magnesium bromide are the better options. 

AUylzirconium complexes are conveniently obtained by the regio- and stereoselective hydrozirconation of allene [127-133] and can be, for example, used subsequently for the MAO-catalyzed allylzirconation of alkynes to prepare enyne derivatives [132]. Alternatively, the preparation of (E)-l,3-dienes from aldehydes and the appropriate allylstannane zirconocene derivative (R = SnBu,) is accomplished (Scheme 8-17) [131], Note that addition of [Cp2Zr(H)Cl[n (1) on the aUenyl reagent with the... 

Various carbon nucleophiles, such as allylsilanes, allylstannanes, silyl enol ethers, ketene silyl acetals, organoaluminum compounds, and Grignard reagents were effective as carbon nucleophiles. 

Although these allylic stannanes are rather resistant to uncatalysed or Lewis acid-catalysed carbonyl addition , they are valuable, shelf-stable homoenolate reagents (see Section IV.C.5), which are activated by Lewis acids or lithiodestannylation. Titanium tetrachloride converts the allylstannanes stereospecifically with inversion into very reactive intermediates (equation 83) . Both isomers, (R,Z)- and (5, )-315, are transformed... 

In addition to allylsilanes, CM can also be applied to allylstannanes, which serve as valuable reagents for nucleophilic additions and radical reactions.To date, only eatalyst 1 has been shown to demonstrate CM reactivity in the preparation of 1,2-disubstituted allylstannanes, as ruthenium catalysts were found to be inactive in the presence of this substrate class.Poor stereoselectivities were generally observed, with the exeeption of one instance of >20 1 Z-selectivity in the reaction of allyltributylstannane with an acetyl-protected allyl gluco-side. 

Substitution at the terminal position of the allylstannane, as in crotonyltributyl stannane, however, is not tolerated, because hydrogen abstraction from the allylic position is a competing reaction [21], An extension of the method involves the coupling of the anomeric radical precursors 28 with the allyltributyltin reagent 29 [14], In the reagent 29 the double bond is activated toward addition of nucleophilic radicals by the electron-withdrawing t-butoxy carbonyl group. The obtained product 30 has been useful en route to 3-deoxy-D-marmo-2-octulosonic acid (KDO). 

The Lewis acid catalyzed conjugate addition of allylsilanes (140) to (142) and allylstannanes (154) and (155) to ot,0-enones, described by Sakurai,68a,68b is highly efficient and experimentally simple in contrast to the allylcuprate additions. Various substituents can be incorporated into the allylsilanes (allylstannanes), e.g. alkoxy, alkoxycarbonyl and halogen, some of which are incompatible with cuprate reagents 69 In addition, Heathcock and Yamamoto report that diastereoselectivity is correlated to the alkene geometry of both the allylmetals and the acceptor units for example, allylation of ( )-enones (143) and (146) affords predominantly the syn adducts (144) and (147), while (Z)-enone (149) gives predominantly the anti adduct (150 Scheme 25).680 On the other hand, with cyclohexen-2-one the (Z)-silane (141) affords predominantly the threo adduct (152), while (142) affords erythro adduct (ISS).686 The more reactive allylstannanes (154) and (155) also afford similar diastereoselectivity.68e,f... 

At present, bimolecular allylation is limited to unsubstituted and 2-substituted allylstannanes (which are symmetrical so that addition and elimination of a tin radical are degenerate). 1-Substituted allylstannanes (for example, crotylstannane) are not useful reagents because the substituent decelerates the rate of the radical addition step below the useful limit.139 The usefulness of 3-substituted allylstannanes has been limited by their relatively facile isomerization to the inert 1-substituted isomers under typical reaction conditions.140... 

Chiral (salen)chromium(III) complexes catalyse the asymmetric allylation of a range of aldehyde types, using allylstannane reagents.171... 

In the presence of Pd[P(ChH,),]4 this reagent reacts with the less substituted carbon of allyl acetates to form allylstannanes with inversion of configuration. 

In contrast to the oxidation of unactivated stannanes, allylic derivatives are expected to be more reactive, and mild conditions and oxidizing agents can be employed successfully. A particularly useful reaction involves the conversion of an allylstannane to die allylic alcdiol, and die commercially available, solid, easily handled m-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA) is die reagent of choice for oxidations employing organic solvents such as dichloromethane. Under these conditions epoxystannanes cannot be isolated and allylic alcohols form direcdy (equation 6). °- ... 

Carbonyl Allylation and Propargylation. Boron complex (8), derived from the bis(tosylamide) compound (3), transmeta-lates allylstannanes to form allylboranes (eq 12). The allylboranes can be combined without isolation with aldehydes at —78°C to afford homoallylic alcohols with high enantioselectivity (eq 13). On the basis of a single reported example, reagent control might be expected to overcome substrate control in additions to aldehydes containing an adjacent asymmetric center. The sulfonamide can be recovered by precipitation with diethyl ether during aqueous workup. Ease of preparation and recovery of the chiral controller makes this method one of the more useful available for allylation reactions.
