Abstract

Abstract cis-and trans-Silyloxiranes with a potential tosylate or bromide leaving group in the β position are available by the diastereospecific reduction of the corresponding alkynes with DIBAL-H and hydrosilylation with silanes, respectively. In the reaction with the anion of a silylthioacetal, the outcome of the reaction is configuration dependent: the cis-oxiranes add nucleophilic methanthiolate and give a cis-vinyl sulfide unit in a Peterson olefination. In ...
