General Specification for the Reaction of Enantiomerically Pure 2
with (Halomethyl)trimethylsilanes, Neopentyl Halides and (Chloro-
methyl)phenyl Sulfide: (R)-1 was added to lithium (2 equiv.) in thf
and cooled to –78 °C at the first occurrence of color change. After
a reaction time of 8 h, the dark solution of lithiosilane 2 was sepa-
rated into three parts and added at –78 °C to the respective halo
electrophile (RCl, RBr, RI; 2.2 equiv.) in thf (2 mL). Afterwards,
the solution was warmed to room temperature and all volatiles
were removed in vacuo. The residue was suspended in a minimum
amount of n-pentane and separated from all salts. The mixtures of
the products were investigated with GC/MS and NMR spec-

Synthesis of rac-20 and (R)-20
The synthesis of rac-20 and (R)-20 used for the subsequent, selec-
tive cleavage of the Si–C bond has been carried out according to
the literature.[12e] All spectroscopic data can be found in this refer-
1
ence. Yet, as the H NMR spectroscopic data of 20 are of crucial
necessity for the determination of the enantiomeric ratio in the re-
action of enantiomerically pure 21 with halobenzenes, these data
are listed below.
