VI. <strong>Allyl</strong> Anions <strong>Stabilized</strong> by Three <strong>Heteroatom</strong>s<br />

(XYCdC−C−Z)<br />

There have been only a few studies on allylic anions<br />

stabilized by three heteroatoms. Those discussed here<br />

contain ei<strong>the</strong>r three different functional groups or<br />

two identical and ano<strong>the</strong>r type <strong>of</strong> heteroatom-linked<br />

groups.<br />

A. 1,3-Bis(phenylthio)-1-(trimethylsilyl)-1-propenes<br />

(PhS−C−CdC(SPh)(SiMe3))<br />

Predominant attack <strong>of</strong> epoxides at R to sulfur in<br />

allyl sulfide anions (cf. section II.C.1) and exclusive<br />

attack <strong>of</strong> epoxides γ to silicon at allyltrialkylsilyl<br />

anions is observed (cf. section II.G). In agreement<br />

with this, regioselective attack takes place for allyl<br />

derivatives substituted by both sulfur and silicon. 78<br />

The silylbis(phenylthio)propene anion 801 gives one<br />

regioisomer 802 (attack at <strong>the</strong> carbon γ to silicon)<br />

upon reaction with aldehydes, methyl chlor<strong>of</strong>ormate,<br />

allyl bromide, and propenoxide, but <strong>the</strong>re is one<br />

known exception: BuI produces a mixture <strong>of</strong> R- 803<br />

and γ-regioisomers 804 (Scheme 153). 397<br />

Scheme 153<br />

B. 1-Methoxy-3-(phenylthio)-3-(trimethylsilyl)-1propene<br />

(MeO−CdC−C(SPh)(SiMe3))<br />

Products 806 <strong>of</strong> alkylation R to sulfur are obtained<br />

from 1-methoxy-3-(phenylthio)-3-(trimethylsilyl)-1propene<br />

805 but this is followed by thioallylic rearrangement<br />

<strong>of</strong> 806 to 1-methoxy-1-(phenylthio)-3-<br />

(trimethylsilyl)-1-propene derivative 808. A second<br />

alkylation also occurs at <strong>the</strong> R-position to sulfur<br />

producing 807 (Scheme 154). 398<br />

Scheme 154<br />

C. 2-(Diethylamino)-4-(phenylthio)-2-butenonitrile<br />

(PhS−C−CdC(CN)(NEt2))<br />

Exclusive alkylation γ with respect to <strong>the</strong> cyano<br />

group <strong>of</strong> anion 809 to form 810 is observed. Similarly,<br />

carbonyl compounds attack at <strong>the</strong> γ-terminus with<br />

respect to <strong>the</strong> cyano substituent. 399 Alcoholysis <strong>of</strong> 810<br />

gives ester 812 which upon S-oxidation and elimina-<br />

tion furnishes <strong>the</strong> R,�-unsaturated ester 811; hence<br />

anion 809 is a �-carbonyl vinyl anion equivalent<br />

(Scheme 155). 399 In contrast, <strong>the</strong> anion 813 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

corresponding e<strong>the</strong>r 2-[(trimethylsilyl)oxy]-4-(methylthio)-2-butenonitrile<br />

undergoes allylation exclusively<br />

at <strong>the</strong> R-carbon to <strong>the</strong> cyano function to give<br />

814 (Scheme 155). 316<br />

Scheme 155<br />

D. 1-(Benzotriazol-1-yl)-3-(diphenylphosphoryl)-1ethoxy-1-propene<br />

(Ph2PO−C−CdC(Bt)(OEt))<br />

Products 815 substituted R to phosphorus are<br />

obtained in <strong>the</strong> reaction <strong>of</strong> lithiated 1-(benzotriazol-<br />

1-yl)-3-(diphenylphosphoryl)-1-ethoxy-1-propene with<br />

electrophiles (RX, RCHO, RCOR). In <strong>the</strong> aldehyde<br />

and ketone cases, Horner reaction occurs to give<br />

substituted dienes 817 or 820. Fur<strong>the</strong>r acidic treatment<br />

<strong>of</strong> 817 under anhydrous conditions produces<br />

�,γ-unsaturated esters 816, but hydrolysis under<br />

aqueous conditions affords γ-lactones 821 (Scheme<br />

156). 400<br />
