I. Fleming et Ak. Mandal, Trapping the tetrahedral intermediate in the 1,3-shift of an acetyl group using a triisopropylsilyl group, J INDIAN CH, 77(11-12), 2000, pp. 593-598
Attempted silylation of (2RS,3RS,4RS)-3-hydroxy-2,4-dimethylhexyl acetate 3
gave neither the primary nor the secondary silyl ether, but the stereoisom
eric silyl ethers 9 and 10 of the tetrahedral intermediate in the 1,3-trans
fer of the acetyl group.
