Alcoxymethyltributyletains precurseurs d'alcoxymethyllithiums: application a la synthese de monoethers d'α-glycols et a l'homologation de cetones en aldehydes
Ethoxymethyltributyltin (obtained from diethoxymethyltributyltin, acetyl chloride and tributyltin hydride) and methoxymethyltributyltin (obtained from chloromethyl-methyl ether and tributylstannylmagnesium chloride) have been transmetallated with butyllithium to give the corresponding alkoxymethyl lithium reagents.This reaction, although usually performed in ether, is possible in a variety of other solvents thus simplifying some of the problems encountered during isolation of the products.The alkoxymethyllithiums obtained react with aldehydes and ketones to give cleanly the corresponding monoprotected α-glycols.Stereochemical trends were observed for hydratropaldehyde and 4-tertiarybutylcyclohexanone, while regiochemical trends were evaluated in the case of cyclohexen-2-one.Syntheis of aldehydes has been achieved in good yields from tertiary monoprotected α-glycols using conventional methods.
