tert-Butyldimethylsilyl iodide (I) is prepared from the reaction of iodine with (phenylseleno)-tert-butyldimethylsilane in acetonitrile.The reaction of oxiranes with 1 followed by treatment with 1,5-diazabicyclonon-5-ene gives accetable yields of allylic alcohols isolated as their tert-butyldimethylsilyl ethers.Ring opening involves cleavage of the bond to the more highly substituted carbon.
