Allyltrichlorosilanes reacted with benzoylhydrazones in DMF without the use of any catalyst to afford the corresponding homoallylic benzoylhydrazines in good to high yields. The reactions proceeded at 0 degreesC to room temperature under mild conditions. In addition, it was found that the reactions tolerated well the steric hindrance of hydrazones and allyltrichlorosilanes. Indeed, ketone-derived benzoylhydrazones reacted with allyltrichlorosilane smoothly to afford the corresponding N'-tert-alkyl-N-benzoylhydrazines in high yields. In crotylation with (E)- and (Z)-crotyltrichlorosilanes, syn-and anti-adducts were stereospecifically obtained, respectively. These reactions. are most likely to proceed via a cyclic chairlike transition state where the R group takes an axial position. When alpha -heteroatom-substituted chiral benzoylhydrazones were used, high anti-diastereoselectivities were observed. These adducts can be readily converted to homoallylic amines in high yields without epimerization.
