A [1,5]-anion relay has been achieved in 3,3-bis(silyl) benzyl enol ether. Deprotonation at the sterically more accessible benzyl position triggers an intramolecular proton transfer to generate the thermodynamically more stable 3,3-bis(silyl) allyloxy lithium. This endo-oriented allyl anion is stable at -78 °C and undergoes diastereoselective syn-addition at the γ-position with aldehydes and ketones to give monobenzyl-substituted 1,2-diols.
[1,5]-阴离子接力在 3,3-双(硅基)苄基烯醇醚中得以实现。在空间上更容易接近的苄基位置进行脱质子化,引发分子内质子转移,生成热力学上更稳定的 3,3-双(硅基)烯丙氧基锂。这种内向取向的烯丙基阴离子在-78°C 时稳定,并与醛酮发生立体选择性 syn-加成,在γ-位生成单苄基取代的 1,2-二醇。
