A NEW STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF 2-SUBSTITUTED 1,3-BIS(TRIMETHYLSILYL)PROPENE DERIVATIVES AND THEIR CONVERSION TO CYCLOPENTANE AND CYCLOHEXANE DERIVATIVES

Ester 2 on treatment with sodium salt of sulfone or sulfoxide afforded 2-substituted 1,3-bis(trimethylsilyl)propene 3 in good yield, from which cyclopentane and cyclohexane derivatives bearing a trimethylsilyl group in the molecules were synthesized.
