Chiral allylsilanes are highly valuable nucleophiles in stereoselective organic synthesis because of the multitude of asymmetric transformations that they can undergo.[1] For example, β-hydroxy allylsilanes have been used extensively by the groups of both Panek and Roush in natural product synthesis. Amongst the most useful applications in recent years are the [3+ 2] annulation [2] and the [4+ 2] annulation [3] as they allow facile access to furans and pyrans.[4] However, the synthesis of substituted β-hydroxy allylsilanes is not always straightforward and usually requires multiple steps.[5] The broad synthetic utility of β-hydroxy allylsilanes motivated us to develop more efficient synthetic routes to such intermediates.We recently reported a new method for the homologation of boronic esters and boranes [6] by employing the lithiated carbamates reported by Hoppe et al.[7] Our method involved the use of carbamates derived from primary and secondary alcohols, which led to the formation of secondary and tertiary [8] alcohols in high enantiomeric ratios after oxidation. The reaction could be extended to a one-pot, multiple homologation process and its application in the synthesis of (+)-faranal was demonstrated.[9] In extending this methodology further, we considered its application in the stereocontrolled, one-pot synthesis of β-hydroxy allylsilanes. We envisioned that the reaction of a lithiated carbamate with βsilyl vinyl borane 3 [10] would form the intermediate allylborane 5 [11] which could react with an aldehyde to give an Z-configured anti-allylsilane 7 (Scheme 1).[12] Subsequent epoxidation and elimination/ring-opening could then provide a stereocontrolled route to 2-ene-anti-1, 4-diols 9, a common motif in natural products (Scheme 1). Herein we detail our success in developing this methodology and its application in synthesis.
