Abstract:
Surfactant-type protonic acid-promoted intramolecular cyclization of functionalized allylsilanes was studied in water for the synthesis of α-methylene-γ-lactone compounds. ω-Formyl-β-(acetoxymethyl)allylsilane afforded carbocyclic compounds in good yields, while the cyclization product was not obtained from the corresponding β-ethoxycarbonyl derivative. It was found that (Z)-β-(acetoxymethyl)allylsilane predominantly afforded the cis-product, while (E)-β-(acetoxymethyl)allylsilane afforded both cis- and trans-products at a ratio of almost 1 : 1. The stereoselectivity of the cyclization reaction was almost the same as a protonic acid-promoted reaction in CH2Cl2 and was explained by an interaction between the C(Si)-C(alkene) bond and the carbonyl moiety. The cyclization products were converted to α-methylene-γ-lactone compounds.

States of Water
Water freezes when the intermolecular forces are greater than the kinetic energy. Unlike most other substances, water is less dense in its solid state than in its liquid state. This is because each water molecule can form...
Dehydration Synthesis
Dehydration synthesis (also called a condensation reaction) is the chemical process in which two molecules covalently link together to form a new molecule, along with the release of a water molecule. Many physiologically important compounds form by dehydration synthesis reactions, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and RNA.
