Y. Landais et al., RHODIUM(II)-VINYLCARBENOID INSERTION INTO THE SI-H BOND - A NEW STEREOSPECIFIC SYNTHESIS OF ALLYLSILANES, Tetrahedron letters, 35(51), 1994, pp. 9549-9552
Rh-2(OAc)(4) catalysed decomposition of vinyldiazocarbonyl compounds i
n the presence of organosilanes led stereospecifically to the correspo
nding allylsilanes in good yields. An asymmetric approach has also bee
n considered as well as the extension of the methodology to the synthe
sis of other allylic systems.
