A substituted donor–acceptor cyclobutenecarboxamide is synthesized with modest enantiocontrol through a chiral copper(I) complex catalyzed [3 + 1]-cycloaddition reaction of α-acyl diphenylsulfur ylides with 3-siloxy-2-diazo-3-butenamides. With a methyl substituent on the 4-position of the 3-butenamide, the cis-vicinal-3,4-disubstituted cyclobutenecarboxamide is formed with >20:1 diastereocontrol. Donor-acceptor 3-methyl-2-siloxycyclopropenecarboxamide is rapidly formed from the reactant enoldiazoamide and undergoes catalytic ring opening to give only the Z-γ-substituted metallo-enolcarbene. Elimination from 3-siloxy-2-diazo-3-pentenamide to form the conjugated 3-siloxy-2,4-pentadienamide is competitive but minimized at low temperature.

X2Si=Sn: (X = H, Me, F, Cl, Br, Ph, Ar, etc.) are a new chemical species. The cycloaddition reactions of X2Si=Sn: are a new field of stannylene chemistry. The mechanism of the cycloaddition reaction between singlet state Me2Si=Sn: and ethene has been investigated for the first time here using second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory together with the 6-311++G** basis set for C, H and Si atoms and the LanL2dz basis set for Sn atoms. From the potential energy profile, it could be predicted that the reaction has one dominant reaction channel. The reaction process presented is that the 5p unoccupied orbital of Sn in Me2Si=Sn: and the π orbital of ethene form a π → p donor–acceptor bond resulting in the formation of an intermediate. The instability of this intermediate makes it isomerize to a four-membered Si-heterocyclic ring stannylene. Because the 5p unoccupied orbital of the Sn atom in the four-membered Si-heterocyclic ring stannylene and the π orbital of ethene form a π → p donor–acceptor bond, the four-membered Si-heterocyclic ring stannylene further combines with ethene to form another intermediate. Because the Sn atom in this intermediate assumes sp3 hybridization after the transition state, the intermediate isomerizes to a Si-heterocyclic spiro-Sn-heterocyclic ring compound. This result indicates the modes of cycloaddition reactions between X2Si=Sn: and symmetric π-bonded compounds, i.e. this study opens up a new field for stannylene chemistry.
