title: Palladium-catalyzed asymmetric synthesis of axially chiral (allenylmethyl)silanes and chirality transfer to stereogenic carbon centers in S(E)' reactions.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Novel stereoselective reactions of 4-substituted-1-trimethylsilyl-2,3-butadienes ((allenylmethyl)silanes) were developed. The axially chiral (allenylmethyl)silanes were prepared from (3-bromopenta-2,4-dienyl)trimethylsilane by a Pd-catalyzed asymmetric reaction with soft nucleophiles with up to 88% enantioselectivity. The (allenylmethyl)silanes reacted with acetals in the presence of a TiCl(4) promoter to give 1,3-diene derivatives via an S(E)' pathway. The 1,3-dienyl products have (E)-geometry exclusively and up to 88%( )()chirality transfer from the axially chiral allenes to the centrally chiral 1,3-dienes was observed in the S(E)' reaction.
