ABSTRACT: Highly enantioselective bisguanidinium-catalyzed tandem rearrangements of acylsilanes are reported. The acylsilanes were activated via an addition of fluoride on the silicon to form a penta-coordinate anionic silicate intermediate. The silicate then underwent alkyl or aryl group migration from the silicon atom to the neighboring carbonyl carbon atom (1,2-anionotropic rearrangement), followed by [1,2]-Brook rearrangement to provide the secondary alcohols in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 95% ee). The isolation of an α-silylcarbinol intermediate as well as DFT calculations revealed that the 1,2-anionotropic rearrangement occurred via a bisguanidinium silicate ion-pair, which is the stereo-determining step. The chiral center formed is then retained without inversion through the subsequent [1,2]-Brook rearrangement. Crotyl acylsilanes were smoothly transform into homoallylic linear crotyl alcohols with retention of E/Z geometry and no branched alcohols were detected. This clearly suggested that the 1,2anionotropic rearrangement occurred through a three-membered instead of a five-membered transition state.
■ INTRODUCTION Hypervalent silicon have been widely applied to organic synthesis and catalysis due to its unique structure and reactivity.1 Penta- and hexa-coordinate silicon are known to be crucial intermediates in many reactions. A representative reaction involving pentavalent silicon intermediate is the Brook rearrangement.2 This process generally requires base and its putative reaction mechanism is an intramolecular anionic migration of the silyl group from carbon to oxygen. Acylsilanes are carbonyl derivatives and behave similarly to aldehydes or ketones and are susceptible to nucleophilic additions.3 Addition of a nucleophile to acylsilane, catalyzed with a chiral metal-complex, generates an enantiopure a-silyl alkoxide, which is a precursor to Brook rearrangement (Scheme 1). This is the most common strategy towards catalytic enantioselective Brook rearrangements. For example, Johnson4a reported a chiral (salen)-Al(OiPr) catalyzed cyanation of acylsilanes and Marek4c reported a Zn-mediated enantioselective alkynylation of acylsilanes. Both reactions are followed by stereoselective Brook rearrangements. Alternatively, the enantiopure α-silyl alkoxide can be generated through hydride reduction of alkynoylsilane using stoichiometric chiral amide, as demonstrated by Takeda.4e Several other chemoselective and diastereoselective variants of this nucleophilic addition strategy have also been reported.2d-e, 5 Acylsilanes can also be activated via a nucleophilic attack on the silicon to form a penta-coordinate anionic silicate intermediate (Scheme 2). The silicate can then undergo alkyl or aryl group migration from the silicon atom to the neighboring carbonyl carbon atom (1,2-anionotropic rearrangement), followed by [1,2]-Brook rearrangement to provide a secondary alcohol. Brook6 and others7 reported this tandem rearrangement of acylsilanes using alkoxide or fluoride salts. To the best of our knowledge, the enantioselective catalytic variant of this reaction, has not been realized.
Ion-pairing catalysis,8 comprising of chiral cation working synergistically with metal-centered anions, has been reported for several enantioselective transformations.9 Specifically, dicationic bisguanidinium has been used to direct permanganate, diphosphatobisperoxotungstate and dinuclear oxodiperoxomolybdosulfate anions in enantioselective oxohydroxylation and sulfoxidation reactions.9a-c Bisguanidinium silicates have also been proposed to be key intermediates in enantioselective alkylations using silylamide.9d In this study, we hypothesized that the silicate intermediate derived from acylsilane can be mediated using a chiral cation to promote enantioselective 1,2-anionotropic rearrangement and followed by stereoselective Brooks rearrangement, lead to chiral secondary alcohols (Scheme 2).

of CsF and bisguanidinium catalyst BG-tBu (5 mol %), no reaction was observed (Table 1, entry 1; see SI, Table S1). Trace amount of the desired product 3a was obtained, after 48 h, when H2O was added as a proton source (entry 2). As a result, we further probed the use of alcohols as the proton source, which led to improve reactivities and enantioselectivities (entries 3-8). The use of a bulky silyl alcohol iPr3SiOH was found to be the best proton source (entry 8) and at this stage we were intrigued by the influence of the proton source on enantioselectivity. We initially suspected that the reaction might to be an enantioselective protonation reaction of the carbanion but further investigations refuted this hypothesis as a silylated alcohol intermediate 2a was isolated and spectroscopically identified. Various solvents were screened and TBME was found to furnish the best yield and enantioselectivity (entries 8-11). Lower reaction temperatures led to improve enantioselectivities but at a cost, i.e. longer reaction times and reduced yields (entries 12-14). Increasing the catalyst loading to 10 mol % and amount of CsF gave the optimal reaction conditions (entry 15). By employing a newly developed bisguanidinium catalyst BG-TMS, enantioselectivity was further improved (entry 16). Table 1. Optimization of the Reaction Conditions.a O

ing electronic or steric properties. The corresponding chiral second alcohols 3a-3k were furnished with good yields (69-93%) and high enantioselectivities (84-95% ee).10 Substrates bearing electron withdrawing groups on the migrating aryl group were more reactive,11 presumably due to increased Lewis acidity of silicon and facilitating the formation of the hypervalent silicate intermediate. In the subsequent anionotropic shift, electron withdrawing groups also stabilized the migratory aryl anion. Furanyl group was well tolerated and provided the furanyl alcohol 3l in 69% yield with 84% ee. The substituents on benzyl group of the acylsilane had little effect on the yields and enantioselectivity (3m-3p). Table 2.

Intermolecular asymmetric allylation of carbonyl compounds or imine using silane reagents typically requires activation of the silane reagent with Lewis bases or the electrophiles with Lewis acids.12 For this intramolecular rearrangement, allyl acylsilane 1q could smoothly transform into allylic alcohol 3q (Scheme 3a). Fortuitously, (Z)-homoallylic linear crotyl alcohol

Journal of the American Chemical Society 3r was obtained from (Z)-crotyl acylsilane 1r using this protocol (Scheme 3b). We initially predicted that a branched alcohol13 would be derived through a five-membered ring transition state but retention of stereochemistry clearly suggested that the 1,2-anionotropic rearrangement proceeded through a threemembered transition state instead (Scheme 3c). We also explored the use of vinyl acylsilanes, and only trace product was achieved under the optimized conditions (Table 1, entry 13; see SI for details). Further investigations are required to determine if other mediator besides fluoride could facilitate this sluggish migratory process.
form two nearly iso-energetic intermediates: ring closure to give a siloxirane intermediate intE (ΔG = -15.3 kcal/mol),15 and O ̄···H bound intD (ΔG = -15.5 kcal/mol). Direct proton transfer from intD between the alkoxyl group and Me3SiOH affords α-silylcarbinol 4. Tandem Brook rearrangement and protonation through transition state TSE (ΔG‡ = +6.5 kcal/mol) leads to a pentavalent precursor intF, which upon facile fluoride dissociation generates silylated allylic alcohol 2q. It is thus interesting to observe that ion pair catalysis can work synergistically with hydrogen bonding and this will have significant implication in the understanding and design of ion pair-mediated reactions.
■ MECHANISTIC STUDIES Identification of Reaction Intermediates. In order to fully understand this tandem 1,2-anionotropic/Brook rearrangement, it was indispensable to verify the enantio-determining step. Fortunately, we were able to isolate α-silyl carbinol 4 and delighted to find it to be in high enantiopurity (Scheme 4a). When treated with TBAF solution, 4 underwent the [1,2]-Brook rearrangement with complete conversion to allylic alcohol 3q without diminished enantiopurity (Scheme 4b).4d,14 Similarly, when silylated allylic alcohol 2q was treated with TBAF solution, allylic alcohol 3q was obtained while retaining both its enantiopurity and absolute configuration (Scheme 4c). These experiments indicated that the 1,2-anionotropic rearrangement to be the enantio-determining step and was indirect evidence for the presence of a tight bisguanidinium silicate ion pair (Scheme 2). We also found that the amount of CsF used had no effect on enantioselectivity but had a positive correlation to the reactivity (Scheme 5).

Theoretical Modelling Studies. Protic additives like alcohol are important to the reaction, with the bulky silyl alcohol having significant effect on enantioselectivity (Table 1, entries 2-5). Furthermore, the isolation of α-silyl carbinol 4 and silylated allylic alcohol 2q as reaction intermediates (Scheme 4) serve to suggest R3SiOH as an important mediator early in the reaction. It is proposed that once halide exchange occurs with the original bisguanidinium chloride catalyst, a pentavalent silyl complex intA is formed (Figure 1; BGs is truncated version of BG-tBu). Our DFT model predicts that Me3SiOH is able to stabilize intA by 2.4 kcal/mol through noncovalent hydrogen bonding to the F-Si bond generating intB (See SI for DFT methods and detailed discussion). A low energy barrier involving three-membered transition state TSB-3m (ΔG‡ = +11.6 kcal/mol) was found to be more energetically plausible over a fivemembered ring transition state for the anionotropic rearrangement process (See SI). Subsequently the α-silylalkoxide intC is able to
In summary, the first catalytic asymmetric tandem 1,2-anionotropic/Brook arrangements of acylsilane furnishing highly enantioenriched secondary alcohols has been described. Isolation of reaction intermediates such as α-silyl carbinol 4 and silylated allylic alcohol 2q, coupled with theoretical calculations, a bisguanidinium hypervalent silicate ion pair was proposed to be the key intermediate for the stereo-determining 1,2-anionotropic rearrangement. In addition, experimental and computational results suggested that the 1,2-anionotropic rearrangement proceeded through a three-membered ring transition state. This new synthetic strategy in ion pairing catalysis is important to expand the repertoire of reactions for acylsilanes. This also points to the future use of chiral cations as an approach to mediate reactions containing silicates as intermediates.
