Abstract
The asymmetric synthesis of alpha-trimethylsilylpropargylic carbamines (7) through the addition of allenylboranes 4 to N-H aldimines is reported. The insertion of TMSCHN2 into enantiomerically pure B-alkynyl-10-TMS-9-borabicyclo[3.3.2]decanes 3 followed by a sterically driven 1,3-suprafacial borotropic shift proceeds with complete stereospecificity to produce 4 in diastereomerically and enantiomerically pure form. These reagents give 7 (51-85%, syn/anti >99%, 92-9% ee) permitting the recovery of 8 (53-63%). Allenylboranes 4 also provide a convenient route to optically pure allenylsilanes 13 (55-94%) through their protonolysis. [reaction: see text]Entities:
