Abstract

1-Lithiated glycals generated by reaction of 1-phenylsulfinyl glycals with either t-BuLi or PhLi are transformed to 1-tributylstannyl glycals on reaction with tributyltin chloride.

29

The Bu3SnMgBr was prepared by transmetallation of Bu3SnLi with MgBr2. The Bu3SnLi was prepared, in turn, by the reaction of BuLi with Bu3SnSnBu3 thereby generating 1 equiv of Bu4Sn waste for each equiv of Bu3SnLi.

Parker and Su (reference 26) reported a successful metallation of the bis-TBS-protected analogue of 35 using 3 equiv of t-BuLi in THF at -78 ˚C.
