14. Although the overall process is stereospecific, the initial Z or E vinyl thioether undergoes postisomerization in solution in the presence of catalytic amounts of benzenethiol. To avoid this problem, the hydrolyzed reaction mixtures were washed with 5% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution.
15. 2O). We have found only one example of the formation of a trans vinyl sulfide resulting from the α-opening of a trans trimethylsilylepoxide with lithium phenylsulfide: Okamoto, S.; Yoshino, T.; Tsujiyama, H.; Sato, F. Tetrahedron Lett. 1991, 32, 5793.

17. Regiospecific β-opening of tert-butyldiphenylsilylepoxides has been observed by us in their reactions with methyllithium at -25°C (Ref. 7) and with lithium diphenylphosphide (Ref. 5).
18. This result is different from the single example described of β-opening using lithium phenylsulfide: Lipshutz, B. H.; Lindsley, C. Susfalk, R.; Gross, T. Tetrahedron Lett. 1994, 35, 8999. They obtained the β-sulfur α-silyl alcohol resulting from β-opening of α-epoxytriisopropylsilane without Brook rearrangement.
