Numerous 3-[(trialkylsilyl)oxymethyl]-furans and -thiophenes undergo a 1.4 O+C silyl migration when treated with n-BuLi/HMPA in THF or DME to produce 2-(trialkylsilyl)-3-(hydroxymethyl)-furans and -thiophenes in good yields.

✦ Synopsis
2-Trialkylsilyl-3-hydroxymethyl-furans and -thiophenes undergo a 1,4 C-O silyl migration when treated with bases containing either potassium or sodium counterions to produce 3-[(trialkylsilyl)oxymethyl]furans and -thiophenes in excellent yields.
We have shown that 3-[(t-butyldimethylsilyl)oxymethyl]furan 3, when treated with n-butyllithiurn/HMPA, undergoes rare a 1,4 0-C sibyl migration producing 2-t-butyldimethylsilyl-3-hydroxymethylfuran 5 (Scheme 1)'
