M. Cavicchioli et al., OXYFUNCTIONALIZATION REACTIONS BY PERFLUORO CIS-2,3-DIALKYTOXAZIRIDINES - ENANTIOSELECTIVE CONVERSION OF SILANES INTO SILANOLS, Tetrahedron letters, 35(34), 1994, pp. 6329-6330
Perfluoro cis-2,3-dialkyloxaziridine 2 is shown to perform the oxyfunc
tionalization of silanes 1 under very mild conditions to give silanols
and silanediols 3 in high chemical yields and complete enantioselecti
vity.
