CHEMISTRY OF ORGANOSILICON COMPOUNDS CXVI. FLUORIDE ION-PROMOTED ISOMERIZATION OF METHYL-SUBSTITUTED ALLYLSILANES. REGIOSELECTIVE SYNTHESES OF ALLYLSILANES

Abstract

Abstract Fluoride ion-catalyzed isomerization of methyl-substituted allylsilanes is reported. In the reaction, a regioisomer of allylsilanes, in which the silicon atom binds to the less substituted carbon atom of the allylic group, is obtained. Accordingly, the reaction is useful as a new route to regioselective synthesis of allylsilanes.
