The Synthesis of Ketones via α-Silyl Sulphides
Ager, David J.
, p. 195 - 204 (2007/10/02)
α-Phenylthiosilanes (2) have been prepared by alkylation of the anion (4) derived from the 1-phenylthio-1-trimethylsilylalkane (1).These anions (4) have benn prepared by a variety of methods including, direct deprotonation of (1), displacement of a phenylthio group by lithium naphthalenide addition of an alkyl-lithium to 1-phenylthio-1-trimethylsilylethene (7), and transmetallation of a tributylstannyl moiety.The formation of an alkyl-lithium by reaction of lithium naphthalenide with a phenyl sulphide provided an additional route to (2) from bis(phenylthio)acetals (8).An alternative path to the α-phenylthiosilanes (2) was to reduce the corresponding α-phenylsulphonylsilane (15); these, in turn, being readily available from alkylation or silylation of α-sulphonyl anions.The α-phenylthiosilanes (2) were converted into the O-trimethylsilylphenylthioacetal (18) by the sila-Pummerer rearrangement, although this was complicated by vinyl sulphide (20) formation in certain cases.Subsequent hydrolysis of (18) and (20) gave the ketone (3).
THE PREPARATION OF KETONES WITH 1-PHENYLTHIO-1-TRIMETHYLSILYLETHENE
Ager, David J.
, p. 95 - 96 (2007/10/02)
The ketone equivalents (3) were prepared by the addition of an alkyllithium to 1-phenylthio-1-trimethylsilylmethane (1) followed by reaction with an alkyl halide.
