Abstract
The conversion of E/Z isomeric olefin mixtures to a singular product is both significant and challenging. In this study, we present a copper-catalyzed stereoconvergent 1,4-protosilylation of E/Z conjugated diene mixtures, yielding allylic silanes with exclusive 1,4-regioselectivity and a Z configuration. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate stereoconvergent 1,4-protosilylation through Zimmerman–Traxler transition states during the protonation step, leading to the formation of the final Z isomer, allylic silane.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
