| We report here an application of reiterative silylformylation of siloxyalkynes for the synthesis of poly-oxygenated compounds. The silylformylation of 4-siloxydiyne 1 catalyzed by Rh(acac)(CO)2 under CO atmosphere gave the corresponding 5-exo-(formylmethylene)-oxasilacyclopentane 2. Reduction of 2 followed by Tamao oxidation and acetylation gave 3. Propargyl magnesium bromide addition followed by silylation afforded the siloxydiyne 4, which under the silylformylation conditions provided the bis oxasilacyclopentane 5. Compound 5 was subjected to the reduction-oxidation-acetylation sequence to yield highly functionalized product 6. Compounds 5 and 6 would serve as versatile intermediate for the synthesis of a variety of poly-oxygenated compounds. The isolated acetylene moiety turned out to be totally unaffected during those transformations, and can be used for further functionalizations. |
