Abstract

Abstract Image

Lewis acid-catalyzed reaction of allyl and benzyl trichloroacetimidates with α-silyl alcohols was found to be a general method for the synthesis of α-alkoxysilanes. Upon exposure to CsF, these α-alkoxysilanes could be made to undergo [2,3]-Wittig rearrangement with an efficiency similar to that realized by the analogous but inherently more toxic α-alkoxystannanes.
