T. Sudo et al., Synthesis of various silacycles via the Lewis acid-catalyzed intramolecular trans-hydrosilylation of unactivated alkynes, J ORG CHEM, 65(26), 2000, pp. 8919-8923
Various silacycles with vinylsilane framework are synthesized via the Lewis
acid-catalyzed intramolecular hydrosilylation of alkynes. The cyclization
proceeds in an endo-trans or/and in an exo-trans manner, depending on the s
ubstrate structure. This methodology is applicable to the synthesis of five
-, six;, seven-, and eight-membered medium-sized silacycles. Furthermore, i
t is possible to obtain a silole derivative via the intramolecular hydrosil
ylation of the ortho-alkynyl-substituted phenylsilane 10.
