Abstract
Silyloxyallenes derived from α-hydroxypropargylsilanes add efficiently to aldehydes with catalytic amounts of Lewis acids. The allenes are accessed from the corresponding propargylsilanes in a base-catalyzed 1,2-Brook rearrangement/SE2' process. Conversion to the silyloxyallenes occurs with minimal erosion in optical activity.
