The direct Michael addition of alkyl methyl ketones through the acetyl methyl terminal to diethyl {[dimethyl(phenyl)silyl]methylene}malonate was catalyzed by the (S)-N-(pyrrolidin-2-ylmethyl)pyrrolidine/trifluoroacetic acid combination with high yield and excellent regio- and enantioselectivity. The ketone adducts can easily undergo de-ethoxycarbonylation to give β-silyl-δ keto esters with excellent synthetic potential. This has been demonstrated by the synthesis of a suitably substituted β-silyl-δ ester as an advanced intermediate for a chiral hydroxylated pyrrolidine natural product, (+)-preussin. Silicon-controlled diastereoselective reduction of the ketone functionality of β-silyl- δesters followed by lactonization of the resulting hydroxy esters gave disubstituted -valerolactones. Advanced intermediates for the antipodes of natural products, namely (+)-massoialactone and (+)-mevinolin analogue, and natural products, namely (-)-tetrahydrolipstatin and (+)-5-hexadecanolide, have been achieved.
