- Trimethylsilyl Cyanide - A Reagent for Umpolung, XX. - On the Regioselectivity of the Addition of Carbonyl Compounds to α,β-Unsaturated Aldehydes after Umpolung
-
By addition of tBuMe2SiCN to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes 5 the silylated cyanohydrins 6 are produced.Deprotonation of 6 provides allylic anions which can be attached to aldehydes and ketones in α-position (kinetic control) (-> 8) or γ-position (thermodynamic control) (-> 9).In contrast to the Me3Si group which has been applied so far the tBuMe2Si group is stable under the reaction conditions.Therefore, the ratio of α/γ adducts can be tuned from > 95:5 to 5:95 depending on the substitution pattern of 6, the aldehydes and ketones, the reaction time and temperature, and even by some additives.The γ adducts 9 are easily transformed into γ-butyrolactones 27 by acidic hydrolysis.

- A SIMPLE PREPARATION OF CYANOSILANES FROM THE CORRESPONDING CHLORODERIVATIVES BY TRANSCYANOGENATION
-
Quantitative yields of pure cyanosilanes are obtained from the corresponding chlorides by transcyanogenation with cyanotrimethylsilane under catalysis of a small amount KF.This is the most direct method with minimum handling in order to obtain these moisture-sensitive derivatives.
