Silacyclopropanes reacted with carbonyl compounds under mild conditions (10 mol % metal salt, less than or equal to 22 degrees C) in a stereospecific and highly stereo-, regio-, and chemoselective fashion, in most cases, CuI or CuBr2 were the optimal catalysts although ZnBr2 worked comparably well in a few examples, insertion occurred with retention of configuration and, in the case of enals and formamides, with high diastereoselectivity at the newly formed stereogenic centers. For unsymmetrical substrates, insertion occurred at the more substituted carbon-silicon bond with complete regioselectivity. Competition experiments demonstrated that formamides reacted faster than enals, which reacted faster than enoates; saturated aldehydes did not undergo insertion. With a cis-disubstituted silacyclopropane, products of silylene transfer were observed. The stereochemistry, regiochemistry, and chemoselectivity of carbonyl insertion as well as the silylene transfer processes can be explained by a mechanism involving transmetalation of silicon to copper.
