Abstract

The preparation of 2 by metalation of methallyl alcohol is very direct, but always produces some amount of an alternative product 3 which relates to the amount of hexane present during the metalation step. 2 We report an alternative approach that produces these silicon bifunctional conjunctive reagents free of any isomeric contaminants.
