Copper-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Silicon Pronucleophiles with Unactivated Alkyl Electrophiles Coupled with Radical Cyclization

A copper-catalyzed C(sp3)-Si cross-coupling of aliphatic C(sp3)-I electrophiles using a Si-B reagent as the silicon pronucleophile is reported. The reaction involves an alkyl radical intermediate that also engages in 5-exo-trig ring closures onto pendant alkenes prior to the terminating C(sp3)-Si bond formation. Several Ueno-Stork-type precursors cyclized with excellent diastereocontrol in good yields. The base-mediated release of the silicon nucleophile and the copper-catalyzed radical process are analyzed by quantum-chemical calculations, leading to a full mechanistic picture.
The Phenyldimethylsilyl Group as a Masked Form of the Hydroxy Group

The phenyldimethylsilyl group can be converted in two steps, protodesilylation and peracid-mediated rearrangement, into a hydroxy group with retention of configuration: β-phenyldimethylsilyl carbonyl compounds are thus revealed to be masked aldol products.
