Silylmethyl, tertiary-alkyl, alkenyl, and aryl Grignard reagents underwent intermolecular addition to olefins, such as styrenes, conjugated dienes, and enynes under an air atmosphere to give homologated alcohols. For example, (trimethylsilyl)methylmagnesi

Reactions of zirconocene-alkene complexes Cp2Zr(CH2=CHR)(PR'3) (R = H, Me, Et, SiR"3 or Ar) with aldehydes or ketones were investigated.Zirconocene-ethylene, -propylene or 1-butene complexes reacted with aldehydes or ketones at terminal carbons of alkenes to give the corresponding alcohols after hydrolysis with a high regioselectivity.A similar type of reaction product was also obtained by a reaction of zirconacyclopentanes with aldehydes.This reaction proceeded via β-β' carbon-carbon bond cleavage of zirconacyclopentanes.A reaction of zirconocene-vinylsilane complexes with ketones afforded 3-trimethylsilyl-1-oxa-2-zirconacyclopentanes with an excellent regioselectivity.Carbon-carbon bond formation occurred exclusively at the terminal carbon of vinylsilanes.Their corresponding γ-silylalcohols were obtained after hydrolysis.The products showed that vinylsilanes reacted with carbonyl compounds at the β-carbon to silyl group.It is in sharp contrast to the conventional reactions of vinylsilanes of which the α-carbon normally attacked electrophiles.The reactions of styrene and its derivatives with pentan-3-one on zirconium gave a mixture of two regioisomers.Substituents of alkenes tend to be in α-position to Zr in 1-oxa-2-zirconacyclopentanes.This orientation showed a different aspect of the formation of 1-oxa-2-zirconacyclopentanes from the alkene-alkene coupling reaction on zirconium.The regioselectivity of the reaction with carbonyl compounds decreased in this order; R = alkyl > silyl > aryl.

Carbonium Ion Rearrangements Controlled by the Presence of a Silyl Group

γ-Silyl tertiary alcohols rearrange in protic acid with 1,2-shift of hydride, phenyl, or alkyl groups, and loss of the silyl group to give alkenes.The placing of the silyl group thus controls the carbonium ion rearrangement in a preparatively useful way.Methoxycarbonyl groups do not migrate; instead, cyclopropanes are formed, except when the conformation suitable for cyclopropane formation is unattainable.When the alkene product is 2,2-disubstituted, it can be reprotonated under the reaction conditions and does not therefore always survive.This can be avoided by carrying out the reaction using a Lewis acid on the silyl ether.The starting γ-silyl alcohols are prepared by a variety of versatile methods.
lithium: A New Reagent for Carbonyl Reductive Vinylation
Wilson, Stephen R.,Shedrinsky, Alexander
, p. 1983 - 1984 (2007/10/02)
The direct transformation of a carbonyl compound into a vinyl compound (i.e., cyclohexanone vinylcyclohexane) is now possible with use of the new reagent described in this paper: lithium, followed by protodesilylation.
