Further studies on silatropic carbonyl ene cyclisations: beta-crotyl(diphenyl)silyloxy aldehyde substrates; synthesis of 2-deoxy-2-C-phenylhexoses.
Silatropic carbonyl ene cyclisations of beta-(allylsilyloxy)- and beta-(crotylsilyloxy)butyraldehydes are shown to proceed with high stereoselectivity but at a much reduced rate in comparison to the cyclisation of analogous alpha-substrates. In the second section, olefin cross-metathesis is explored...
