Cyclopropenation of alkylidene carbenes derived from α-silyl ketones

A new cyclopropanation reaction involving Cα-Si bond insertion of alkylidene carbenes derived from α-silyl ketones has been developed. This unprecedented alkylidene carbene reactivity features excellent selectivity for insertion into Cα-Si bonds rather than insertion into Cγ-H bonds or addition to,δ-double or -triple bonds. The selectivity trend clearly indicates that the α-oxygen in the tether significantly promotes Cγ-H insertion, although the Cα-Si bond insertion still competes effectively.

Process for preparing substituted oxyacetaldehydes and acetals thereof

A process is described for the preparation of substituted oxyacetaldehydes and acetals thereof according to the reaction sequence: STR1 WHEREIN R1 and R2 are each lower alkyl or R1 and R2, taken together form a lower alkylene group; wherein R3 is alkyl, alkenyl or alkadienyl and X is halogen selected from the group consisting of chlorine and bromine, the reaction (i) being carried out (1) using a "phase transfer agent" and (2) in a two phase system.
