Allylic acetates can replace the corresponding trifluoroacetates in these reactions only<br />

when an added chloride salt, for example, lithium chloride, is present in the reaction medium.<br />

However, the reactions proceed onlyat higher temperatures and are accompanied<br />

byreduced yields. [136]<br />

Configurational inversion is normally observed with cycloalkenyl trifluoroacetates.<br />

For example, methyl cis-5-trifluoroacetoxycyclohex-3-ene carboxylate (71) gives trans-72<br />

in the tetrahydrofuran/acetonitrile mixed solvent. Note that this reaction is essentially<br />

solvent dependent, since use of pure tetrahydrofuran leads to a 1:1 mixture of trans- and<br />

cis-72 (Scheme 33). [136]<br />

(2-Cyclohexylideneethyl)trimethylsilane (46); Typical Procedure: [136]<br />

A 20-mL flask was charged with Pd(dba) 2 (17 mg, 0.030 mmol) and THF (5.5 mL) under an<br />

argon atmosphere. The mixture was stirred, and the palladium complex dissolved, affording<br />

a deep-purple soln. Then Me 3SiSiMe 3 (293 mg, 2.0 mmol) and ester 69 (222 mg,<br />

1.0 mmol) were added in this order. The mixture turned pale yellow, and the reaction<br />

was allowed to proceed at rt for 12 h. The mixture was then diluted with Et 2O (20 mL),<br />

washed with sat. aq NaHCO 3 (20 mL), dried (MgSO 4), and concentrated. Kugelrohr distillation<br />

afforded silane 46; yield: 168 mg (92%); bp 80 8C/1 Torr.<br />

Using Samarium(II) Iodide and Chlorotrimethylsilane<br />

An alternative procedure for the preparation of terminallysubstituted allylsilanes involves<br />

palladium-catalyzed reductive metalation of allylic phosphates with the samarium(II)<br />

iodide±hexamethylphosphoric triamide complex. Thus, the E-allylsilane (E)-74 is<br />

available in good yield from (E)-73 (Scheme 34). [137] In general, low temperature is recom-<br />
