Some applications of organo-sulphur and silicon chemistry in synthesis

Some applications of organo-sulphur and silicon chemistry in synthesis

The development of new synthetic methods in organic chemistry is of importance because new routes to total syntheses can thereby be revealed. Chapter One deals with a new route to a,a-unsaturated aldehydes involving a 2,3-sigmatropic shift of sulphur followed by a Sila-Pumerer rearrangement. Chapter Two is concerned with the preparation and some reactions of i-phenylsulphinyl-l-trimethylsilyl and i-phenylsulphenyl-l-phenylsulphinyl substituted allenes. The reduction of acetylenic alcohols with lithium aluminium hydride followed by work up with benzenesulphenyl chloride is also discussed. Chapter Three deals with the preparation of precursors for the intramolecular reaction of allylsilanes with aldehydes or epoxides. An unexpected result was found when 1,2-epoxy-4-trimethylsilylundec-5-ene was treated with stannic chloride in that 2-methylenedec-4-en-l-ol was formed. Similar alcohols were also formed when analogous epoxides were investigated. Chapter Four describes potential routes to the strychnos alkaloids,koumine and gelsemine, and reports the progress made along these lines.

Abstract

The development of new synthetic methods in organic chemistry is of importance because new routes to total syntheses can thereby be revealed. Chapter One deals with a new route to a,a-unsaturated aldehydes involving a 2,3-sigmatropic shift of sulphur followed by a Sila-Pumerer rearrangement. Chapter Two is concerned with the preparation and some reactions of i-phenylsulphinyl-l-trimethylsilyl and i-phenylsulphenyl-l-phenylsulphinyl substituted allenes. The reduction of acetylenic alcohols with lithium aluminium hydride followed by work up with benzenesulphenyl chloride is also discussed. Chapter Three deals with the preparation of precursors for the intramolecular reaction of allylsilanes with aldehydes or epoxides. An unexpected result was found when 1,2-epoxy-4-trimethylsilylundec-5-ene was treated with stannic chloride in that 2-methylenedec-4-en-l-ol was formed. Similar alcohols were also formed when analogous epoxides were investigated. Chapter Four describes potential routes to the strychnos alkaloids,koumine and gelsemine, and reports the progress made along these lines.
