2-Alkylidenecycloalkanones are powerful synthons used as the key intermediates in many important syntheses. Because of their potential, a general method of preparation from readily available starting materials, under very mild conditions, was considered to be worthwhile. Cerium(III) chloride heptahydrate in combination with sodium iodide in refluxing acetonitrile promotes a regio- and stereoselective β-elimination reaction to (E)-2-alkylidenecycloalkanones in 2-(1-hydroxyalkyl)cycloalkanones. The synthetic value of the present procedure is demonstrated by the synthesis of monoterpene (S)-(-)-pulegone (8) in its optically active form.

Primary and secondary allylic acetates and benzoates react with the dimethyl(phenyl)silyl-cuprate reagent to give allylsilanes, provided that the THF in which the cuprate is prepared is diluted with ether before addition of the allylic ester.The reaction is reasonably regioselective in some cases: (i) when the allylic system is more-substituted at one end than the other, as in the reactions 4->5 and 9->10; (ii) when the steric hindrance at one end is neopentyl-like, as in the reactions 15->16; and (iii) when the disubstituted double bond has the Z configuration, as in th e reactions Z-19->E-21 or, better, because the silyl group is becoming attached to the less-sterically hindered end of the allylic system, Z-20->E-22.The regioselectivity is better if a phenyl carbamate is used in place of the ester, and a three-step protocol assembling the mixed cuprate on the leaving group is used, as in the reactions 23->24 and E- or Z-29->E-21, or, best of all, because the silyl group is again becoming attached to the less-sterically hindered end of the allylic system, E- or Z-30->E-22.This sequence works well to move the silyl group onto the more substituted end of an allyl system, but only when the move is from a secondary allylic carbamate to a tertiary allylsilane, as in the reaction 38->39.Allyl(trimethyl)silanes can be made using alkyl- or aryl-cuprates on trimethylsilyl-containing allylic esters and carbamates, as in the reactions 40->41, and 43->44.The reaction of the silyl-cuprate with allylic esters and the three-step sequence with the allylic carbamates are stereochemically complementary, the former being stereospecifically anti and the latter stereospecifically syn.Homochiral allylsilanes can be ma de by these methods with high levels of stereospecificity, as shown by the synthesis of the allylsilanes 54, 58 and 59.
