13. Control experiments indicate that cis-1 is more thermally labile than trans-1.
14. This formamide was used to simplify spectral analyses.
15. 1H NMR spectroscopy is most likely due to the presence of trans-2-butene as an impurity in commercially available cis-2-butene, from which silacyclopropane cis-1 was made. The typical purity of cis-1 is ≥95%.
16. The stereochemistry of these products was proven rigorously. The details are provided as Supporting Information.

18. The stereochemistries of insertion products derived from 8 were determined by analysis of NOE data. A summary of these data is provided as Supporting Information.
19. Bleaching of the characteristic blue-green color of copper(II) salts was observed upon addition of the silacyclopropane. The reduction of palladium(II) salts with silacyclopropanes was demonstrated: Seyferth, D.; Shannon, M. L.; Vick, S. C.; Lim, T. F. O. Organometallics 1985, 4, 57-62.
20. The reduction of copper(II) to copper(I) by pentafluorosiliconates was reported: Yoshida, J.-i.; Tamao, K.; Kakui, T.; Kurita, A.; Murata, M.; Yamada, K.; Kumada, M. Organometallics 1982, 1, 369-380.
21. Use of 10 mol % CuI with crotonaldehyde led to a 64% yield of 10b as an 87:13 mixture of diastereomers; ZnBr2 afforded a 62% yield of an 87:13 mixture. An 87:13 mixture was observed for CuI-catalyzed insertion of tiglic aldehyde. These mixtures permitted comparison of NOE data between the major and minor diastereomers.

25. The stereochemistry of 18a was determined unambiguously (ref 5). The stereochemistries of 18b-d were assigned by analogy.

31. This compound was identified on the basis of its spectral properties. The rapid hydrolysis of this dioxasilolane was reported by Corey: Corey, E. J.; Hopkins, P. B. Tetrahedron Lett. 1982, 23, 4871-4874.
32. When this transformation was performed starting at -78°C and the reaction solution was warmed to 22°C, dioxasilolane 21 was accompanied by 13% of cis-6 as a 63:37 ratio of diastereomers.
