Abstract

The selective addition of carbamoylsilane to vicinal diketones in toluene solvent at 110 °C affords β-keto-α-siloxyamide derivatives in good yields (54–99%). The steric hindrance is an important factor in the addition reaction.

  • 10 General Procedure for the Preparation of β-keto-α-Siloxyamides 3 or 5 A Schlenk tube fitted with a Teflon vacuum stopcock and micro stirbar was flame-heated under vacuum and refilled with Ar. Vicinal diketones 2 (0.50 mmol) and 1.5 mL of anhydrous toluene was added at ice bath temperature. After 20 min, 1.2 equiv of carbamoylsilane (0.60 mmol) was added, and the reaction mixture was stirred at 110 °C until complete consumption of the carbamoylsilane (TLC). Volatiles were then removed under vacuum and the residue was chromatographed using PE–EtOAc as eluent to obtain β-keto-α-siloxyamides 3 (or 5). Characterization Data for Typical β-Keto-α-siloxyamides All NMR spectra were obtained in CDCl3 unless otherwise indicated. Compound 3a: white solid; yield 99% (176 mg, 0.5 mmol); mp 125.0–127.0 °C.
