Abstract
We present a new ring-opening reaction of epoxides by pendant silanols, catalyzed by either Ph3C+BF4- or BINOL-phosphoric acid. Silanol epoxides derived from trans-allylic alcohols, cis-allylic alcohols, trans-homoallylic alcohols, and cis-homoallylic alcohols were all compatible and gave products from either endo- or exo-ring opening. With silanol epoxides derived from 4-alkenyl silanols, an unusual rearrangement to tetrahydrofuran products was observed. The utility of this methodology was demonstrated in a short preparation of protected d-arabitol.Entities:
