Abstract
N-tert-butyldimethylsilylhydrazone (TBSH) derivatives from carbonyl-containing compounds serve as superior alternatives to simple hydrazones in Wolff-Kishner-type reduction reactions, in the Barton vinyl iodide preparation, in the synthesis of vinyl bromides, and in the synthesis of gem-diiodides, gem-dibromides, and gem-dichlorides. Optimized procedures are provided for the use of TBSH derivatives in a Wolff-Kishner-type reduction protocol that proceeds at low temperature. Protocols for the use of TBSH derivatives as precursors to vinyl halides and gem-dihalides are described in detail.
