β-Hydroxyketones can be directly converted to cyclic disiloxanes using diphenylchlorosilane in the presence of imidazole and an amine base. The reaction is proposed to proceed via a nucleophilic activation mechanism through a cyclic chairlike transition state affording hydrosilylated products with high diastereoselectivity.
