Stereospecific alpha-methallylation of hydroxyaldehydes by silatropic ene cyclisation
We describe the thermal rearrangement of aldehydes bearing an α-(allyl- or crotylsilyl)oxy substituent. The transformations are best described mechanistically as intramolecular silatropic ene reactions based on stereoselectivity, kinetic and computed transition state data. The overall process consti...
