28. Matsuda and co-workers previously reported an analogous unsymmetrical bisalkylation of trimethylsilylacetonitrile (19) with two different epoxides in DME (see scheme below). In this example, how the timing of the Brook rearrangement was controlled is unclear. One could speculate that the first alkylation occurs more rapidly that silyl migration. Alternatively, lithiated 19 could be more reactive that the intermediate formed after Brook rearrangement (21) reducing competitive alkylation. See: Matsuda, I.; Murata, S.; Ishii, Y. J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 1 1979, 26. (Diagram presented)
