te ester can be carried out with excellent diastereoselectivity.<br />
The course <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> reaction can be explained<br />
by <strong>the</strong> initial attack <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> allyl reagent on<br />
<strong>the</strong> si face <strong>of</strong> tert-butylcinnamate coordinated to<br />
phosphorus and “anchoration” in <strong>the</strong> left-cleft, whereas<br />
lithium is chelated by <strong>the</strong> enolate (cf. 415). 220 In<br />
general, chiral nonracemic allyl phosphonamides 411<br />
result in diastereomerically pure or highly enriched<br />
γ-products (cf. 414, 416, and 417) upon reaction with<br />
R,�-unsaturated cyclic ketones, esters, lactones, and<br />
lactams. In <strong>the</strong> case <strong>of</strong> 3-methylcyclohexanone <strong>the</strong><br />
inclusion <strong>of</strong> HMPA enhances <strong>the</strong> amount <strong>of</strong> 1,4-γaddition<br />
with high stereoselectiviy. The trans-decalinoid<br />
transition state 412 (Scheme 73) is assumed<br />
to be similar to <strong>the</strong> one proposed by Haynes for allylic<br />
sulfoxide and phosphine oxides. 221<br />
4. <strong>Allyl</strong> Phosphines (CdC−C−PR2)<br />
A lot <strong>of</strong> attention has been paid to lithiated phosphonates<br />
and phosphinoxides, but much less to<br />
phosphines. The (diphenylphosphino)allyltitanium<br />
reagent 418 also provides via 419 and 421 a stereoselective<br />
route to conjugated polyenes 420 (Scheme<br />
74). 222 To our knowledge, so far no investigation has<br />
been carried out on <strong>the</strong> regioselectivity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> lithiated<br />
species.<br />

G. Silicon<br />
In <strong>the</strong> early 1970s Corriu et al. reported <strong>the</strong> first<br />
R-silylallyl anion. 223 Since <strong>the</strong>n, numerous such carbanions224<br />
have been used as syn<strong>the</strong>tic intermediates.<br />
225-231<br />
We first deal with <strong>the</strong> allyltrialkylsilanes in some<br />
detail, followed by a separate section for <strong>the</strong>ir functionalized<br />
derivatives. Cyclic silanes are treated<br />
briefly and, because <strong>of</strong> its interesting behavior,<br />
silylated methylenecyclopropene is discussed in a<br />
separated subsection. Finally bissilylated olefins<br />
which do not belong in one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se sections are<br />
considered.<br />
1. <strong>Allyl</strong>trialkylsilanes (CdC−C−SiR3)<br />
687<br />
<strong>Allyl</strong>trialkylsilanes such as 422 give anions 423<br />
which react with primary halides to give a mixture<br />
<strong>of</strong> R- 424 and γ-(E)-adducts 425. 232 In contrast to<br />
allyltrimethylsilane 422 223,233,234 and allyltriphenylsilane<br />
(426, R) Ph), 223 which are γ-methylated to<br />
form 428 and 429 respectively, allylic dimethylphenylsilane<br />
(426,R3 ) Me2Ph) 235 undergoes preferential<br />
R-attack with methyl iodide to give 427 (Scheme 75).<br />
No significant changes in <strong>the</strong> ratio 424:425 is<br />
caused by <strong>the</strong> addition <strong>of</strong> 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane<br />
(DABCO), crown e<strong>the</strong>rs or various metal salts.<br />
An appreciable change in orientation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> reaction<br />
<strong>of</strong> allyltrimethylsilane with alkyl halides is caused<br />
by use <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Lochmann-Schlosser base, KO t Bu/ n -<br />
BuLi, which gives predominantly γ-alkylation 425. 232<br />
Bulkier substituents on silicon also result in increasing<br />
γ-regioselectivity reflecting greater steric hindrance<br />
to R-alkylation. 229,236 For example, allyl(tertbutyl)diphenylsilane<br />
anion 430 affords regioselectively
