Efficient Synthesis of Branched Propargyl- and Allylsilanes

Abstract
The transformation of α-silylated aldehydes 3a-h into the propargylsilanes 5a-k and the (Z)-allylsilane 6 is described. The readily available tert-butylimine 1 of acetaldehyde is silylated and alkylated in a one-pot procedure to obtain the α-silylated aldehydes 3a-h after hydrolysis of the imine moiety in 77-96% yield. C-1 homologation by the Corey-Fuchs method gave 1,1-dibromoallylsilanes 4a-h in 70-96% yields which can be transformed into the mono- and disubstituted propargylsilanes 5a-k in 33-95% yield. Hydrogenation of the propargylsilanes e.g. 5e with Ni(OAc)2/NaBH4 gives the (Z)-allylsilane 6a in 80% yield.
