Trimethylsilyl enol ethers continue to be useful synthons for various aldol and Michael"," reactions. Their utility in part is due to their ease of regiospecific preparation, ease of cleavage and high reactivity. Danishefsky and coworkers have shown that silyl enol ethers react with dimethyl(methy1ene)ammonium iodide yielding Mannich bases. Otherwise inaccessible Mannich bases are accessible via the series below.

Nitro-olefins react with trimethylsilyl enol ethers under Lewis acid catalysis in a regiospecific manner yielding 1,4-diketones.2 o

a-Halo-a,B-unsaturated carbonyl compounds are conveniently prepared by addition of a dihalo carbene to silyl enol ethers.21 Further uses of trimethylsilyl enol ethers are discussed in later sections.

Corey and coworkers have outlined the wide usefulness of N,N-dimethyl hydrazones (DMH) in synthesis.25-9 The parent carbonyl compounds can be regenerated by oxidative hydrolysis via periodate at pH 7 or with the very mild cupric acetate in water-THF. Metallation of these hydrazones selectively occurs at the less alkylated carbon. Alkylation occurred axially in the cyclohexane derivatives studied. Quenching of the metallated DMH’s

with carbonyl compounds or epoxides yields $-hydroxycarbonyl compounds or y-hydroxycarbonyl compounds, respectively. The metallated DMH’s add 1,2to a,B-unsaturated carbonyl compounds; however, cuprate derivatives can be formed which add 1 , 4 and afford a path to 1,5-diketones.

Hydrolysis produces 2-thiomethylketones. Alternatively, an axial acetoxy or methoxy group is introduced by mercuric chloride catalyzed solvolysis in acetic acid or methanol.

Enantioselective alkylation of cyclohexanones can be accomplished via a chiral lithio-chelated enamine. Doubly lithiated nitroalkanes react rapidly with electrophiles providing an improved method for C-C bond formation from nitroalkanes.3’ Doubly lithiated methanol can be prepared to give a nucleophilic hydroxymethylation reagent.32 OH I 0CHO + LiCHlOLi BCH-CHzOH

The bis(pheny1thio)carbanion can be condensed with a ketone yielding an intermediate bis (pheny1thio)alcohol. Trifluoroacetic acid catalyzed hydrolysis generates an alkylated carbonyl compound without the utilization of an alkyl halide.

Olofson and coworkers have published improved syntheses of cyclopropanols. 3‘-6 These make use of the high selectivity of lithium 2,2,6,6tetramethylpiperidide (LITME’, H+arpoon) in generation of alkoxy carbenes from various chloromethyl ethers. ClCHzCH20CH2C1

Aromatic Substitution - Phenols can be oxidized directly to ortho-quinones with diphenylseleninic anhydride. " Blocking of the para-position is unnecessary and yields are good. A trifluoromethylthio group can be introduced into an aromatic ring by coupling of trifluoromethylthio copper (I) and an aryl bromide or iodide.4 Aryl chlorides are inert. Nucleophilic displacement of the nitro group of nitrobenzenes substituted with a variety of electron-withdrawing groups is readily possible at 25OC with HMPA as solvent.48 Carbon, oxygen, and sulfur nucleophiles have been used with excellent yields reported.

Halogenations - An improved procedure €or the regiospecific preparation of a-bromocarbonyl compounds uses the reqyisite trimethylsilyl enol ether and either bromine or N-bromosuccinimide. Direct fluorination at saturated carbon is possible with either elemental fluorine or CFBOF and a radical inhibitor. 5 7 - 8 The transformation is an electrophilic fluorination, regiospecific by virtue of the highly polar transition state sensitive to the inductive effects of nearby or remote polar substituents. Substitution occurs almost exclusively at tertiary positions with monosubstitution predominating. With various substituents, selective fluorination at positions 9, 14, or 17 of the steroid nucleus was reported.

Several new procedures for the selective oxidation of secondary alcohols in the presence of primary alcohols have appeared. Distannoxanebromine, a neutral reagent, efficiently oxidizes secondary or benzylic alcohols to ketones in the presence of primary alochols.62 Trialkyltin alkoxides and bromine oxidize both primary and secondary alcohols. Woelm W-200, neutral, dehydrated alumina oxidizes secondary alcohols to ketones in the presence of primary alcohols with trichloroacetaldehyde as the hydride acceptor. The reverse reduction process had previously been reported. Oxidation of triphenylmethyl ethers of primary, secondary diols with triphenyl carbenium salts proceeds only at the secondary positions. Dimethylsulfoxide trifluoroacetic anhydride at low temperature is a mild reagent for the oxidation of hindered alcohols.

Lithium trisiamylborohydride (LTSBH) shows unique stereoselectivity in the reduction of unhindered ketones.8 4 Ketones such as 4-~-butylcyclohexanone undergo exclusive equatorial attack yielding the cis-carbinol. The reagent is superior to LTMBH and L-Selectride.

Protecting Groups - Detonation has been reported for compounds where oxidaIt aption of tetrahydropyranyl (THP) ether derivatives was performed. pears that the THP-protecting group forms sensitive organic peroxides when treated with peroxy reagents. Normal precautions in the work-up of such reactions were insufficient in destruction of the sensitive compounds. THF, dioxolane, and methoxymethyl ether groups should also be presumed to form explosive derivatives upon contact with peroxy reagents.

Aldrich now offers 2-~-butoxycarbonyloxyimino)-2-phenylacetonitrile (BOC-ON) as a non-explosive replacement for the thermally unstable and shock-sensitive - B O C azide. 8 6 The 8-methoxyethoxymethyl (MEM) group has been introduced as a new general protecting group for the hydroxyl function.87 The MEM group is rapidly introduced under either aprotic basic or aprotic neutral conditions. The MEM group may be selectively cleaved with ZnBrp or TIC14 with no interference from esters or benzyl, allyl, THP, TBDMS, trichloroethyl, or MTM ethers. Conversely, these groups may be removed in the presence of MEM ethers. MEM ethers are stable to strong bases, reducing agents, organometallic reagents, many oxidizing agents, and mild acids. Further extensions of the use of the methylthiomethyl (MTM) protecting group for alcohols have been reported.
