Abstract

We describe the thermal rearrangement of aldehydes bearing an α-(allyl-or crotylsilyl) oxy substituent. The transformations are best described mechanistically as intramolecular silatropic ene reactions based on stereoselectivity, kinetic and computed transition state data. The overall process constitutes a stereospecific (meth) allylation of α- hydroxyaldehydes, under neutral conditions, in which the hydroxyl protecting group is also ...
