Brook Rearrangement

Chem 676
Discovery of Brook Rearrangement
• Adrian Gibbs Brook discovered the
rearrangement in 1974.
• Brook did mechanistic studies as well.
• He studied at the University of Toronto (PhD
1950).
• Also first to synthesis a silicon-carbon double
bond.

Brook Rearrangement
• Makes silyl enol ethers
• Pseudo-first order
General reaction
• Retention of stereochemistry
• Later was found to be reversible
• Later found to be useful in
tandem with other reactions via
the addition of an electrophile

General mechanism
Modern use of Brook rearrangement
Overview of Recent Literature Reactions
• vinylation, [1,2]-Brook rearrangement, vinylogous Michael cascade
• α-Hydroxy Acid Derivatives
• Eight-Membered Rings
• Improved Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction

• Arylvinyl Ketones
• γ-Amino-β-Hydroxy Amides
• 1,4-Brook Rearrangement-Wittig Reaction
Michael Cascade Reaction
• Regio- and diasterocontrol
• 1,7-chirality transfer
• Uses vinylation, [1,2]-Brook rearrangement, vinylogous Michael
cascade

α-Hydroxy Acid Derivatives
• One-pot synthesis using aldehydes, PhMe2SiLi, and CO2.

Eight-Membered Rings Overall Scheme
α-Hydroxyproargylsilanes to Aldehydes

• Z geometry preference
• NHC-initiated method, NHC interacts with aldehyde allows for highly
reactive allenolate

Hillman reaction
yields a mixture
of products
• Using phosphine
to arylvinyl
ketone followed
by 1,3-Brook
rearrangement
only one product
