Abstract
Synthesis of Z-allylsilanes in high or good yields and with good stereoselectivity is achieved from O-acetylated 1-silyl-3-chloro alcohols promoted by SmI2. The starting compounds were easily prepared from 2-chloroaldehydes and a mechanism is proposed to explain the stereoselectivity of the β-elimination reaction.
Key words

References and Notes
General Procedure for the Synthesis of Compounds 3.
Trimethylsilylmethyllithium (12 mL, 1.0 M solution in pentane) was added at -85 °C to a solution of the corresponding α-chloroaldehyde 1 (10 mmol) in THF (10 mL). After stirring for 2 h, the reaction mixture was quenched by addition of sat. aq NH4Cl (10 mL). Standard work-up provided crude 3-chloro-1-(trimethylsilyl)alkan-2-ols 2. The O-acetylation reaction was carried out by treatment of the corresponding crude 3-chloro-1-(trimethylsilyl)alkan-2-ols 2 (1 mmol) with Et3N (10 mL), Ac2O (10 mL) and a catalytic amount of DMAP (5 mg). The reaction mixture was stirred for 12 h at r.t., then the reaction was quenched with ice-cold H2O (30 mL). The organic material was extracted with CH2Cl2. The combined extracts were dried over Na2SO4 and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure affording compounds 3 which were utilized without further purification. Compounds 3 were obtained as a mixture of diastereoisomers (roughly 1:1), after column chromatography (hexane-EtOAc, 5:1).
General Procedure for the Synthesis of Allylsilanes 4.
A solution of SmI2 (1.2 mmol) in THF (12 mL) was added dropwise, under a nitrogen atmosphere, to a stirred solution of the corresponding starting material 3 (0.4 mmol) at r.t. The reaction mixture was then refluxed for 8 h. After this time, it was quenched with aq HCl (0.1 M, 10 mL). The organic material was extracted with Et2O. The combined extracts were dried over Na2SO4 and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure affording crude compounds 4 which were purified by short-column chromatography (silica gel, pentane as eluent). Spectroscopical data for the compounds 4 which are not described in the literature are given here.

This is consistent with other previously reported SmI2-mediated β-elimination methodologies with Z-selectivity (see ref. 7-9). So, when aryl-substituted olefins were obtained an enhancement of the E-stereoisomer was observed.
19An isomerization process of the Z-phenyl alkene to the more stable E-isomer cannot be discarded under this reaction conditions.
