Abstract

The α-dimethyl (1-phenylthio) cyclopropylsilyl group was used as a new masked hydroxy group. Three procedures have been devised to allow the oxidation of this silicon group in the presence of various functionalities. The desired alcohols are obtained in high yields with retention of configuration at the carbon centre.
