Abstract
Products from an iodine-mediated diallylsilane rearrangement were taken into an asymmetric dihydroxylation (AD) reaction resulting in the formation of diastereomeric 6-membered oxasilacycles. Removal of the epimeric stereocenter among this mixture of diastereomers by elimination of iodine produced a single enantioenriched cyclic allyl silyl ether. The resulting allyl silane was then successfully engaged in several further transformations, providing an alternative means to prepare useful intermediates for enantioselective synthesis.
