Abstract

Chemistry Chemistry, Organic Physical Sciences Science & Technology
Substituted silyl ethers of o-bromobenzyl alcohols and the derived o-silylbenzyl alcohols were used to transfer allyl and benzyl groups from silicon to the electrophiles benzaldehyde and benzophenone in excellent yields. gamma-Oxidosilane intermediates (and possibly hypercoordinated silicon intermediates) are postulated.
