Hj. Knolker et al., [3- SAKURAI REACTION VERSUS TRIMETHYLSILYLCYCLOPENTANE ANNULATION(2] CYCLOADDITIONS OF ALLYLSILANES .4. DUAL REACTIVITY OF ALLYLTRIMETHYLSILANE ), Tetrahedron, 49(44), 1993, pp. 9955-9972
The Lewis-acid-promoted reaction of allyltrimethylsilane with enones i
s shown to afford the 3-allyl ketone derivatives (Sakurai products) al
ong with the trimethylsilylcyclopentanes ([3+2] cycloaddition products
). The stereochemistry of the [3+2] cycloaddition products is determin
ed by X-ray analysis.
