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.
