Silyl triflate-promoted rearrangement of cis-2,3-epoxycycloalkanols A, prepared by epoxidation of the cyclic allylic alcohol and then silylation, afforded good yields ( approximately 70-75%) of the cis-2-alkyl-3-silyloxycycloalkanones B, presumably via the intermediates C and D, even with quite large alpha-substituents, e.g., tert-butyl. Finally, it has been shown that the stereochemistry of the epoxy alcohol is crucial as one would expect from the mechanism.
通过环烯丙醇环氧化然后硅烷化制备的顺式-2,3-环氧环烷醇A，在三氟甲磺酸硅促进下重排，即使对于相当大的α-取代基，例如叔丁基，也能以良好的产率（约70-75%）得到顺式-2-烷基-3-硅氧基环烷酮B，推测是通过中间体C和D实现的。最后，正如从机理中所预期的那样，已表明环氧醇的立体化学至关重要。
