Abstract

The reaction of homoallylic alcohols with bis (sym-collidine) bromine (I) hexafluoroantimonate led in good yields to the formation of oxetanes if a silyl group was fixed on the carbon carbon double bond in terminal position. This reaction was stereospecific when no supplementary substituent was present on the double bond.
