The palladium-catalyzed reaction of γ-silylated allyl acetates with water in the presence of CsF induces a previously unprecedented 1,2-shift of a substituent on silicon to produce allylsilanes in situ. The catalytic activity of the palladium increased when using an electron-poor phosphine ligand possessing fluorinated substituents. Further investigation of the reaction revealed that the approximate order of the migratory aptitude of groups from silicon was PhC≡C, allyl > Bn > Ph, vinyl > alkyl (Me, Et). A density functional theory study was employed to explore the reaction mechanism. Finally, the Hosomi–Sakurai-type allylation of aldehydes with in situ-generated α,γ-disubstituted allylsilanes was also investigated.

Low-temperature rapid injection NMR (RINMR) experiments were performed on two lithium reagents, n-butyllithium and 2-methoxy-6-(methoxymethyl)phenyllithium (5), with the goal of measuring the relative reactivity of the different aggregates (dimer, mixed dimer, and tetramer for n-BuLi, monomer and tetramer for 5) toward typical electrophiles. The reaction of the n-BuLi dimer with (trimethylsilyl)acetylene first forms the mixed dimer n-BuLi·Me3SiC≡CLi, which is about 1/60 as reactive as the n-BuLi homodimer. The tetramer does not react. In the deprotonation of (phenylthio)acetylene, the n-BuLi dimer was found to be 3.5 × 108 as reactive as the tetramer, and in the addition to p-diethylaminobenzaldehyde, the relative reactivity was at least 2 × 104. In the deprotonation of (p-tolylsulfonyl)acetylene, the monomer of 5 was at least 1014 times as reactive as the tetramer. These measurements show that the difference in reactivity between the lower and higher aggregates of organolithium reagents can be many orders of magnitude higher than all previous estimates.
