✦ Synopsis

Alkenylsilanols and the corresponding lithium silanolates prepared in situ by the reaction of cyclic siloxanes with alkenyllithiums are transformed to the corresponding cyclopropylsilanols under the Simmons-Smith reaction conditions. The obtained cyclopropylsilanols are further converted into the corresponding cyclopropanols by the Tamao oxidation.
