Abstract

Several alternatives for preparing (1-trimethylsilylcyclopropyl) ethylenes have been examined. Although 1-lithio-1-(trimethylsilyl) ethylene does add satisfactorily to carbonyl compounds and the subsequent Simmons-Smith cyclopropanation provides the desired cyclopropyl carbinols, shorter routes involving the 1-trimethylsilylcyclopropyl anion were sought. The sequence based upon reductive lithiation of 1-(trimethylsilyl)-1-phenyl- ...
