A new type of silicon–tin rearrangement involving neighbouring group participation of an α-phosphoryl group
Abstract
Diethyl 1-hydroxy-3-phenyl-1-trimethylsilylpropylphosphonate (5) underwent silicon–tin rearrangement with tributyltin alkoxides to afford the 1-silyloxy-1-stannylpropylphosphonate (6) in high yield; the 1-hydroxypropylphosphonate (8) was converted by treatment with a stannylating agent into the kentone (9)
