Scheme 72<br />

Scheme 73<br />

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
