Abstract
Selective rearrangement of epoxysilanes to alpha-silylaldehydes has be en achieved with high efficiency by using exceptionally bulky oxygenop hilic methylaluminum bis(4-bromo-2,6-di-tert-butylphenoxide) (MABR) as a stoichiometric reagent. Ctalytic use of MABR led to silyl enol ethe rs in good yield.
