Oxidative cleavage of carbon-silicon bond of organosilanes with trimethylamine-N-oxide is achieved under mild conditions.The reaction occurs chemoselectively irrespective of the presence of amino and thio groups to give formally anti-Markovnikov hydration product of 1-alkenes and 1-alkynes via hydrosilylation.
