A. Barbero et al., The Peterson olefination using the tert-butyldiphenylsilyl group: Stereoselective synthesis of di- and trisubstituted alkenes, SYNTHESIS-S, (9), 2000, pp. 1223-1228
The reaction of alpha-tert-butyldiphenylsilyl carbonyl compounds with organ
ometallics leads with a high diastereoselectivity to erythro-beta-hydroxysi
lanes, which under acidic or basic elimination conditions give E or Z di- a
nti trisubstituted alkenes.
