Abstract

Silicon-tethered intramolecular nucleophilic additions of a hydroxymethyl unit to ketones in β-hydroxyketones have been developed. The product obtained by this protocol was successfully converted to chiral A-ring moieties of Taxol™. Also developed was a promising silicon-tethered intramolecular α-alkylation reaction of the cyclic hydroxyketone.
