Homolytic 1,5-transfer of chiral organosilicon groups from an enoxy oxygen to an alkoxy oxygen—implications for mechanism
Literature Information
Sonia M. Horvat, Sunggak Kim, Carl H. Schiesser
Reaction of the optically active silanes, ((SSi)-(−)-6), formed by treatment of racemic 2-methylenecycloheptanone oxide with LDA followed by (R)-(+)-chloromethyl(1-naphthyl)phenylsilane, with tributyltin hydride under standard radical conditions affords (2R/2S)-[(S)-(methyl(1-naphthyl)phenylsilyloxy)methyl]cycloheptanone, (SSi)-(−)-7, providing strong evidence that homolytic 1,5-transfers of organosilicon groups from enoxy oxygen to alkoxy oxygen proceed with retention of configuration, most likely through a frontside attack mechanism rather than via a hypervalent intermediate.
