27. We have previously reported the possibility that C-O bond cleavage and Si-O bond formation in base-promoted ring opening of metalated O-silyl cyanohydrins of β-silyl-α,β-epoxyaldehydes proceed in a concerted manner.

32. Treatment of 3 with KHMDS (1.1 equiv) in the presence of MeI and 18-crown-6 (0.05 equiv) in THF at 0°C for 5 min, conditions that roughly mimic those which can be encountered in the reaction from 1a, resulted in the formation of 4 (52% yield; E/Z = 1/2.5) and protonated derivative 2 (El = H) (28% yield; E/Z = 1/6.7).
33. 2Et provided (5E)-10a in 93% yield. See Ref. 1.
34. The use of less bulky silyl groups such as trimethylsilyl and dimethylphenylsilyl resulted in the hydrolysis of the enol silyl ether to the corresponding aldehydes.
