Application

1-(Trimethylsilyl)imidazole (TMSI) was used for derivatization of carbohydrates into trimethylsilyl ethers. It was also used to synthesize polysubstituted chiral spirotetrahydropyrans and as silylating reagent for the protection of hydroxyl groups in the presence of amine functionalities.

We report a TMSI-promoted Prins cyclization reaction with ketones as carbonyl partners to prepare polysubstituted chiral spirotetrahydropyrans. In the presence of racemic 2-methylcyclohexanone a dynamic kinetic resolution occurred affording one stereoisomer. The observed enantiospecificity has been rationalized by DFT calculation.

The reaction of trimethylsilylimidazole (TSIM) and 3-keto-5,10-epoxy-nor-19-methylandrostanone 3 and its 17-acetate analog 4 was examined at two different temperatures. In both compounds, reaction at 90 degrees C gave predominantly a delta 3-silyl-enol ether plus a minor product as a result
