Synthesis of cyclic alkenylsiloxanes by semihydrogenation: a stereospecific route to (Z)-alkenyl polyenes.

Cyclic alkenylsiloxanes were synthesized by semihydrogenation of alkynylsilanes-a reaction previously plagued by poor stereoselectivity. The silanes, which can be synthesized on multigram scale, undergo Hiyama-Denmark coupling to give (Z)-alkenyl polyene motifs found in bioactive natural products. T...
