Scheme 126. Two Different Gem-<strong>Heteroatom</strong>s<br />

CHCHO. 355,356 In <strong>the</strong> case <strong>of</strong> unsymmetrically substituted<br />

anions 684 with different steric requirements<br />

at <strong>the</strong> 1- and 3-allylic carbon atoms, <strong>the</strong> least<br />

hindered <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se will be <strong>the</strong> most readily alkylated<br />

to give predominantly 685 (Scheme 127). 357 Oshima<br />

et al. 358 carried out <strong>the</strong> same reactions but used<br />

transmetalation with CuI.<br />

Scheme 127<br />

2. 1,3-(Diphenylseleno)-1-propene (PhSe−CdC−C−SePh)<br />

1,3-(Diphenylseleno)propene 687 after metalation<br />

reacts smoothly with alkyl halides, TMSCl, epoxides,<br />

and carbonyl compounds. The products 688 can be<br />

converted as shown into 3-substituted propenal derivatives<br />

689 (Scheme 128). 359<br />

Scheme 128<br />

3. 1,3-Bis(trimethylsilyl)propene (Me3Si−C−CdC−SiMe3)<br />

1,3-Bis(trimethylsilyl)propene 690 gives anion 691<br />

which is attacked by carbonyl compounds producing<br />

693 and 694 but with low yields and variable stereoselectivity.<br />

360,361 This can be improved by addition<br />

<strong>of</strong> MgBr2, trimethyl borate, or Cp2TiCl (Scheme<br />

129). 362 The reaction proceeds via a six-membered<br />

transition state exhibiting a chair conformation 692<br />

(analogous to 447, Scheme 79, section II.G.1).<br />

Scheme 129<br />

The reaction <strong>of</strong> 1,3,5-tris(trimethylsilyl)pentadiene<br />

anion 695 with trimethylchlorosilane leads to 1,1,3,5tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)-1,3-pentadiene<br />

696 with 99%<br />

regioselectivity in THF while in hexane a mixture <strong>of</strong><br />

696 (55%) and 1,3,3,5-tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)-1,4pentadiene<br />

697 (45%) is observed (Scheme 130). 264<br />

Scheme 130<br />

4. 3-(Methylthio)-2-propenyl p-Tolyl Sulfones<br />

(MeS−CdC−C−SO2R)<br />

701<br />

3-(Methylthio)-2-propenyl p-tolyl sulfone 698 can<br />

undergo ei<strong>the</strong>r mono- (cf. 699) or double alkylation
