Abstract
(Hydrido)silyl ethers, generated in situ by dehydrogenative coupling of tertiary alcohols with diethylsilane, undergo regioselective silylation at a primary C-H bond δ to the hydroxyl group in the presence of [(Xantphos)Rh(Cl)] as catalyst. Fleming-Tamao oxidation of the resulting 6-membered oxasilolanes provides 1,4-diols.
