โฆ Synopsis
A 1,4 O?O silyl migration followed by nucleophilic substitution with phthalimide was observed under Mitsunobu reaction conditions. This one step secondary alcohol protection and primary alcohol substitution with N-nucleophiles was extended to a variety of 2-hydroxyethyl trialkylsilylether derivatives. A possible mechanism has been postulated based on the pK a values of the alcohol and nucleophile. The present one-pot silyl migration and substitution reaction might find application in the stereoselective synthesis of novel iminosugar derived anti diabetic agents.

An improved procedure for regiospecific 0-alkylation of b-tetronic acids with primary and secondary alcohols, based upon Mitsunobu conditions, is presented. The reaction conditions are very mild and compatible with a variety of hydroxyl protecting groups such as MOM, t-BuMezSi, isopropylidine and es
## Anions generated from trialkylsilyl ethers of methyl ketoximes (1) undergo anionic rearrangement with 1,4 migration of the silyl group. After protonation, the resulting a-trialkylsilyl ketoximes (2), suffer thermal rearrangement with 1,4 migration of the silyl group from carbon to oxygen.
