[reaction: see text] Treatment of hydroxy-substituted silyl epoxides with Grignard reagents induces a 1,2-carbon shift to reveal alpha-silyl aldehydes, which are trapped by highly diastereoselective addition reactions of the Grignard reagent. The starting epoxides are readily accessible from propargylic alcohols by regio- and diastereoselective hydrosilylation and epoxidation reactions. In addition to providing functionalized tertiary silane products, the method is shown to offer a tertiary olef ...[more]
