Formation of Aminocyclopentadienes from Silyldihydropyridines: Ring Contractions Driven by Anion Stabilization

Abstract

Highly functionalized aminocyclopentadienes can be formed through the rearrangement of anions generated from readily prepared 6-silyl-1,2-dihydropyridines by desilylation with fluoride. The scope and generality of the reaction was defined, and diverse transformations were performed on the highly functionalized products. A mechanism and driving force for the rearrangement were identified from experiments and DFT calculations.
