Mj. Daly et G. Procter, ALLYLSILANES IN ORGANIC-SYNTHESIS - HIGHLY STEREOSELECTIVE ALKYLATIONOF BETA-SILYL-GAMMA-LACTONES, Tetrahedron letters, 36(41), 1995, pp. 7549-7550
Direct alkylation of hydroxy-lactones obtained by the diastereoselecti
ve dihydroxylation of ester-allylsilanes takes place with high diaster
eoselectivity without protection of the hydroxyl function.
