A novel methodology for the deprotonation of a methyl group on silicon has been developed. This newly developed cr-lithiation protocol is based on the intramolecular pyridyl group coordination to stabilize the a-silyl carbanion together with the inherent silicon a effect. It was found that the deprotonation (t-BuLi/Et(2)O/-78 degreesC) occurs with 2-pyridyltrimethylsilane but not with other related silanes such as phenyltrimethylsilane, 3-pyridyltrimethylsilane, and 4-pyridyltrimethylsilane. It seems that this deprotonation proceeded through the agency of the complex-induced proximity effect (CIPE) of a 2-pyridyl group on silicon. (1)H NMR analysis of (2-pyridyldimethylsilyl)methyllithium revealed the intramolecular coordination of a pyridyl group to lithium. ( 2-Pyridyldimethylsilyl)-methyllithium was found to react with chlorosilanes, hydrosilanes, chlorostannanes, bromine, iodine, organic bromides, aldehydes, and ketones in good to excellent yields. The resultant adducts were further oxidized with H(2)O(2)/KF to give the corresponding alcohols in excellent yields. Thus, this two-step transformation provides an efficient method for the nucleophilic hydroxymethylation.
