30. Thermal deuteriomethanolysis proceeded with the same stereochemical outcome, albeit with extensive decomposition.
31. For example, the 3-deuterio-2-butanols are known: Kabalka, G. W.; Bowman, N. S. J. Org. Chem. 1973, 38, 1607-1608.
32. These conditions were inspired by insertions of aldehydes into silacyclobutanes; Takeyama, Y.; Oshima, K.; Utimoto, K. Tetrahedron Lett. 1990, 31, 6059-6062.
33. Control experiments indicate that the products are formed kinetically and that no isomerization of the silirane occurred during either the thermal or catalyzed insertions.
