Abstract

The reaction of 2-, 3-or 4-chlorobenzyl chlorides (1a-c) with an excess of lithium and a catalytic amount of DTBB (7 mol%) in the presence of different electrophiles [PriCHO, ButCHO, Et2CO,(CH2) 5CO, PhCOMe, Me3SiCl] in THF at− 50° C leads after hydrolysis with water, to the expected dioles or disilylated compounds 2aa-2cf.
