experimental part, p. 5541 - 5551 (2009/12/09)
We describe the thermal rearrangement of aldehydes bearing an α-(allyl- or crotylsilyl)oxy substituent. The transformations are best described mechanistically as intramolecular silatropic ene reactions based on stereoselectivity, kinetic and computed transition state data. The overall process constitutes a stereospecific (meth)allylation of α-hydroxyaldehydes, under neutral conditions, in which the hydroxyl protecting group is also the (meth)allylating agent.
Silatropic carbonyl ene cyclizations in the synthesis of pseudosugars and hydroxylated piperidines

, p. 7133 - 7148 (2007/10/03)
We describe two applications of silicon-tethered thermal allyl transfer reactions of α-silyloxyaldehydes; formally, these processes can be regarded as silatropic carbonyl ene reactions in which the silicon tether is transferred to the aldehyde oxygen conc
