Mechanistic evidence suggests that the Lewis acid-promoted allylic rearrangement of alpha-silyloxy allylic silanes proceeds along an ionic reaction pathway involving a contact ion pair. The driving force for this transformation is alleviation of steric congestion at the allylic position of the alpha-silyloxy allylic silane and stabilization of pi cc by hyperconjugation.

Organoboron-based allylation approach to the total synthesis of the medium-ring dilactone (+)-antimycin A(1b).

J Org Chem

Davenport Research Laboratories, Department of Chemistry, University of Toronto, 80 St. George Street, Toronto, ON M5S 3H6, Canada.

The stereoselective synthesis of (+)-antimycin A1b has been accomplished in 12 linear steps and 18% overall yield from (-)-ethyl lactate. A robust, scalable, and highly diastereoselective montmorillonite K10-promoted allylation reaction between an α-silyloxy aldehyde and a substituted potassium allyltrifluoroborate salt provides a general approach to the core stereochemical triad of the antimycin A family. The requisite (Z)-substituted potassium allyltrifluoroborate salt was synthesized using a syn-selective hydroboration/protodeboration of an alkynylboronate ester, followed by a Matteson homologation reaction.
