Retro-Brook rearrangements refer to the intramolecular migration of a silyl group from oxygen to carbon. In this study, we report a novel propargylic retro-Brook rearrangement observed in terminal alkynes bearing a silyl ether moiety. Retro-Brook rearrangements involving [1,2]-, [1,4]-, and [1,5]-migrations are described, affording propargylsilanes in reasonable yield. The reaction mechanism was investigated experimentally by deuterium quenching and rationalized by density functional theory calculations. The terminal alkyne and the subsequent propargyl/allenyl dianion were shown to be crucial for the reaction favoring the retro-Brook rearrangement product over the Brook rearrangement. The second deprotonation at the propargylic position was determined to be the rate-limiting step. In addition, a gas-phase Brook-type rearrangement of the propargylsilanes was observed under GC-MS conditions. This observation was also further confirmed by DFT calculations.
