✦ Synopsis
Acyclic a,@-dihydroxysilanes (prepared from c@-epoxysilanes) react with KH to give silyl enol ethers; the predominant stereochemistry is consistent with anti elimination via d-oxidosilanes. We have recently shown that c&p-epoxysilanes can serve as stereospecific vinyl cation equivalents in the synthesis of olefins 2 and heteroatom-substituted olefins. 3 This synthesis is based on the finding that Oc,p-epoxysilanes undergo regioand stereospecific d-opening by a variety of nucleophiles to produce diastereomerically pure p-hydroxysilanes, 2-5 and that these p-hydroxysilanes undergo stereospecific syn or antip-elimination reactions under basic or acidic condi-
