Organoaluminium compounds, R//3Al, promote the Claisen rearrangement of allyl vinyl ether derivatives at room temperature under transfer of R or H as a nucleophile to the aldehydic carbon. Treatment of 1-butyl-2-propenyl vinyl ether with a hexane solution of Me//3Al (1. 0 M, 2. 2 equiv) in CH//2ClCH//2Cl at 25 degree C afforded 5-decen-2-ol (91% yield, E/Z equals 47/53), which was produced by the left bracket 3,3 right bracket sigmatropic rearrangement and successive methylation. The rearrangements with alkynylation, alkenylation, and hydrogenation are also achieved. The regular Claisen rearrangement products, of gamma , delta -unsaturated aldehydes (ketones), are obtained at 25 degree C in good to excellent yields with Et//2AlSPh (2. 5 equiv) or the combination of Et//2AlCl (2. 0 euiv) and PPh//3 (2. 2 equiv).

Epoxide ring-opening of 1,2-epoxy-1-trimethylsilylcyclohexane (3) has given a range of the 2-substituted 2-trimethylsilylcyclohexanols (4; X = H, OH, OMe, OCH2CH=CH2, Br, I, SCN) in which attack by nucleophile has occured at the carbon α to silicon.The products (4) have been transformed into a number of functionalised silanes, including the silyl-episulphide (9).Other epoxides which have been less extensively studied are the conformationally biased epoxysilanes (10) and (11), the eight-membered ring epoxysilanes (17) and (21) and the two stereoisomeric 2,3-epoxy-3-trimethylsilylpentanes (26) and (29).Epoxide ring-opening adducts were obtained after treatment with H+-MeOH in all cases except for compound (17), where the bicyclic alcohol (18) was formed by a transannular reaction.
