Abstract
A combination of tin(IV) iodide and tetrabutylammonium iodide can be used for propargylation or allenylation of aldehydes with 2-propynyl mesylates in dichloromethane. 1-Methyl-2-propynyl mesylate or 2-butynyl mesylate results in propargylation or allenylation controlled by the steric effect of the 1- or 3-methyl group, and 3-trimethylsilyl-2-propynyl mesylate results in propargylation controlled by the coordination of triiodostannate to silane.
Key words
nucleophilic addition - propargylation - allenylation - tin(IV) iodide - tetrabutylammonium iodide

9 It was confirmed by 1 H NMR analysis (JEOL Λ-500) that the reaction of 4 (0.03 mmol) with SnI2 (0.04 mmol) and NaI (0.04 mmol) in DMF-d
7 (0.5 mL) at 25 °C first produced propargyltin A , δ = 4.06 ppm (CH2 , s), and then produced a small yield of allenyltin C , δ = 4.90 ppm (C = CH2 , s).
10a 1b caused no carbonyl propargylation, 3-methylpropargyltriiodotin would scarcely isomerize to 1-methylallenyltriiodotin on account of the steric hindrance of the methyl group. Thus, the bulkier trimethylsilyl group should give an unusual effect for the isomerization of A to C . It is presumed that the formation of a higher coordinated silicon intermediate causes regioselective ring-opening reactions of α-silylepoxides at the α-carbon near to the silyl group: Eisch JJ.
