Synthesis of Alkenes via Peterson Reaction

The α-phenylthiosilanes (2) have been used to prepare the α-silyl anions (1) by reaction with lithium naphthalenide; subsequent condensation with a carbonyl compound gave the alkene (8) via the Peterson reaction.The α-phenylthiosilanes (2) were prepared from n,n-bis(phenylthio)acetals (4) by reaction with lithium naphthalenide and chlorotrimethylsilane.The n,n-bis(phenylthio)acetals (4) were obtained, in turn, from 1,1-bis(phenylthio)acetals (5) by anion formation with butyl-lithium-N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine complex in hexane followed by reaction with an alkyl halide.The Peterson reaction was also used to prepare vinyl sulphides (9) and vinyl sulphones (13).
