Regioselective silylzincation of phenylallene derivatives
This paper deals with our new approach for regio-controlled synthesis of exo/endo-vinylsilanes through silylzincation as a key reaction, using newly developed silylzinc reagents. In this system, by choosing appropriate zinc reagents, either exo-vinylsilane or endo-vinylsilane can be synthesized with good regioselectivity, using the same phenylallene substrates. (Chemical equation presented).
