Abstract
Abstract 3-phenylthio-2-(trimethylsilymethyl)propene is a convenient conjunctive reagent for the preparation of methylenecyclohexanes via a [3+3] annulation. The trimethylsilyl group facilitates the Lewis acid catalyzed allylation of an aldehyde or acetal while the phenylthio group directs a 6-endo-trig radical cyclization reaction.
