Synthesis of propargylsilanes

Chiral spiro phosphate dirhodium complexes catalyze an asymmetric insertion of alkynyl carbenes derived from readily available sulfonylhydrazones into the Si-H bonds of silanes to afford various chiral propargylsilanes with excellent enantioselectivity. Subsequently, a platinum catalyst was used for stereospecific isomerization of the chiral propargylsilanes to the corresponding chiral allenylsilanes.

A copper-catalyzed deconjugative addition of silicon nucleophiles to a broad range of enyne-type α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated acceptors provides α-chiral propargylic silanes with excellent enantiomeric excesses. The method is 1,4-selective with hardly any formation of the 1,6-adduct. The double-bond geometry is shown to be critical for achieving this chemoselectivity.
