E. 1-(Diethoxyphosphoryl)-1-(dimethylamino)-2methyl-3-(trimethylsilyl)-1-propene<br />

((EtO)2) PO(NR2)CdC−C−SiMe3)<br />

Deprotonation <strong>of</strong> 822 gives a mixture <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> endo<br />

823 and exo 824 anions. γ-Silylation with respect to<br />

phosphorus and nitrogen to yield 823 is observed for<br />

<strong>the</strong> endo-isomer. However, <strong>the</strong> exo-isomer 825 affords<br />

<strong>the</strong> 3,3′-bissilyl isomer 827 and not <strong>the</strong> expected<br />

analogous 3,3-bissilylated product (Scheme 157). 354<br />

Scheme 157<br />

F. 1,3-(Diphenylseleno)-1-(trimethylsilyl)-1-propene<br />

(PhSe−C−CdC−(SePh)SiMe3)<br />

After lithiation, 1,3-(diphenylseleno)-1-(trimethylsilyl)-1-propene<br />

828 reacts with a range <strong>of</strong> electrophiles<br />

at <strong>the</strong> position γ to <strong>the</strong> trimethylsilyl function<br />

to give 829 (Scheme 158). 359<br />

Scheme 158<br />

G. 1,1,3-Tris(phenylthio)-1-propene<br />

(PhS−CdC−C−(SPh)2)<br />

Both alkyl halides and carbonyl compounds attack<br />

<strong>the</strong> anion <strong>of</strong> dithio-substituted allylic system 830<br />

exclusively at <strong>the</strong> carbon 3, forming 831. Hydrolysis<br />

and elimination <strong>of</strong> 3 mol <strong>of</strong> thiophenol gives �-alkylated<br />

acrylate 832 (Scheme 159). 401<br />

The dianions 836 <strong>of</strong> methyl 3-(methylthio)dithiopropanoate<br />

and methyl 3-(phenylthio)dithiopropanoate<br />

833 with excess <strong>of</strong> methyl iodide form γ-methylated<br />

ketene acetal anions 837; subsequent S-methylation<br />

yields 839. However, if S-methylation <strong>of</strong> 834 occurs<br />

Scheme 159<br />

first to form 835, R-attack at <strong>the</strong> monoanion 838 is<br />

observed to give 840 (Scheme 160). 402<br />

Scheme 160<br />

H. r-Methoxy-γ-(trimethylsilyl)allyldiphenylphosphine<br />

Oxide ((MeO)(Ph2PO)CdC−C−SiMe3))<br />

R-Methoxy-γ-(trimethylsilyl)allyldiphenylphosphine<br />

oxide 841 reacts after deprotonation with<br />

aldehydes at <strong>the</strong> γ-position to give 842 (Scheme<br />

161). 212<br />

Scheme 161<br />

I. General Discussion<br />

The more heteroatoms a molecule contains <strong>the</strong><br />

more difficult it is to assess <strong>the</strong> regioselectivity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

attack (Scheme 162). The outcome <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> reaction is<br />

usually consistent with <strong>the</strong> stabilizing or destabilizing<br />

effects <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> substituents as assessed from <strong>the</strong><br />

respective monoheterosubstituted anions, bearing in<br />

mind <strong>the</strong> extra steric hindrance from geminal substituent<br />

groups.<br />

Lithiated 1,3-bis(phenylthio)-1-(trimethylsilyl)-1propene<br />

801 furnishes γ-products 802 at <strong>the</strong> carbon<br />

to silicon (Scheme 153). Upon treatment with electrophiles<br />

<strong>the</strong> reaction would proceed in a similar<br />

manner without <strong>the</strong> presence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> two sulfur-linked
