Abstract
It has been shown that enol ether derived 2-phenyl-3-silyloxy-oxetanes 1 and 3 can be cleaved by catalytic hydrogenation. In combination with the preceding Paternò-Büchi reaction the method enables a regioselective access to 1,2-diols 2 starting from olefinic substrates. Optionally, the reduction of 3 can be conducted such that the more hindered tertiary alcohol site in 2 remains silyl-protected.
