T. Oriyama et al., A ONE-STEP AND CHEMOSELECTIVE CONVERSION OF SILYL-PROTECTED ALCOHOLS INTO THE CORRESPONDING ACETATES, Tetrahedron letters, 35(13), 1994, pp. 2027-2030
A reagent system of acetyl bromide combined with a catalytic amount of
tin(II) bromide cleaves readily trialkylsilyl ethers to give the corr
esponding acetates in high yields under very mild conditions.
