Stereoselective formation of (Z)-γ-substituted allylsilanes by the titanocene(II)-promoted reaction of thioacetals with trialkyl(allyl)silanes

Abstract

The reaction of organotitanium species prepared by the desulfurizative titanation of thioacetals with (C₅H₅)₂Ti[P(OEt)₃]₂ in the presence of trialkyl(allyl)silanes gives γ-substituted allylsilanes with Z stereoselectivity.
