Construction of Axial Chirality and Silicon-Stereogenic Center via Rh-Catalyzed Asymmetric Ring-Opening of Silafluorenes

A rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective ring-opening/acylation of silafluorenes is reported. The newly developed bulky phosphoramidite ligand, in combination with methanol as the additive, enabled the reaction to create one axial chirality and one silicon-stereogenic center in a highly selective manner by only cleavage of one Si-C bond.

Organosilicon derivatives of cyclopentane

Addition of HMe3-nSiCln (n = 1-3) to cyclopentene yields the corresponding cyclopentylchloro-silanes. Their ethynyl derivatives were prepared by the reaction with ethynylmagnesium bromide. The reaction of cyclopentyldimethyl(bromomagnesioethynyl)silane with acetaldehyde gives 1-(cyclopentyldimethylsilyl)-1-butyn-3-ol. When treated with EtMgBr and Me3SiCl, cyclopentyltriethynylsilane gives cyclopentyldiethynyl-(trimethylsilylethynyl)silane. The reaction between cyclopentyltrichlorosilane and methanol produces cyclopentyltrimethoxysilane, and the reaction of the latter with triethanolamine gives cyclopentylsilatrane.
