Insertion reactions of silacyclopropanes: Evidence for a radical-based mechanism
Rotsides, Christina Z.,Woerpel
, p. 3132 - 3138 (2016)
Silacyclopropanes reacted rapidly and selectively with p-benzoquinones to provide oxasilacyclopentanes. Ring-expansion products were observed in the absence of a catalyst, elevated temperatures, or irradiation. As substitution was increased on the silacyclopropane ring, improved stereoselectivity was observed. In some cases, the regiochemistry was controlled depending on the extent of stabilization of the reactive intermediates involved. A radical clock experiment, along with stereochemical studies, confirmed that radical intermediates were involved in the ring-expansion reaction. The scope of this radical reaction was expanded to include dienones, aryl aldehydes, and electron-deficient enones in addition to benzoquinones. In the case of aryl aldehydes and electron-deficient enones, the radical reaction can be used to generate silylenes from silacyclopropanes.

Lewis Acid Catalyzed Enantioselective Photochemical Rearrangements on the Singlet Potential Energy Surface

The oxadi-methane rearrangement of 2,4-cyclohexadienones to bicyclic ketones was found to proceed with high enantioselectivity (92-97% ee) in the presence of catalytic amounts of a chiral Lewis acid (15 examples, 52-80% yield). A notable feature of the transformation is the fact that it proceeds on the singlet hypersurface and that no triplet intermediates are involved. Rapid racemic background reactions were therefore avoided, and the catalyst loading could be kept low (10 mol %). Computational studies suggest that the enantioselectivity is determined within a Lewis acid bound singlet intermediate via a conical intersection. The utility of the method was demonstrated by a concise synthesis of the natural product trans-chrysanthemic acid.
