Lewis acid mediated domino allylation of diallylsilane to α,β-unsaturated ketones

Abstract

On treatment of diallyldiisopropylsilane and α,β-unsaturated ketones with BF₃·OEt₂, 1,4-addition of an allyl moiety and subsequent intramolecular allylation onto the β-silyl carbocation intermediate furnished domino allylation products. Oxidative cleavage of the carbon–silicon bond furnished bis-homoallylic alcohols in good yields.

9. A typical experimental procedure for the preparation of 3a is described (Entry 1, Table 1). To a solution of methyl vinyl ketone (18.2 mg, 0.20 mmol) and diallyldiisopropylsilane (66.1 mg, 0.4 mmol) in CH₂Cl₂(1.3 ml) was added BF₃·OEt₂(35.5 µl, 0.289 mmol) at room temperature. After being stirred at that temperature for 30 min, the reaction mixture was quenched by addition of 5% KHSO₄ solution. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate and the combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na₂SO₄ and concentrated to dryness. Purification of the crude mixture by column chromatography (SiO₂, hexane–ethyl acetate = 15∶1, v/v) gave 3a(46.4 mg, 62%) and 4(6.5 mg, 15%).
