8. Analysis was performed with the use of optical rotations because the allylic silanes could not be resolved by HPLC. Attempts to deprotect allylic silanes were unsuccessful due to a competing Brook rearrangement.

10. Possible conformations C1-C3 were calculated by using ab initio calculations performed at the HF/6-31G* level, using Macspartan (Wave-function, Irvine, CA). Conformation C1 was the lowest energy conformer by 0.51 kcal/mol relative to C2. Conformer C3 was found to not be an energy minimum. (Chemical Equation Presented)
11. CO is much better in C1 than C2 because the two orbitals are orthogonal to each other in C2.
12. The barrier to rotation of the allyl cation is estimated to be 36-38 kcal/mol: (a) Wiberg, K. B.; Breneman, C. M.; LePage, T. J. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1990, 112, 61-72.

15. The energetic difference between 1-trimethylsilyl-1-trimethylsilyl- oxybutane and 1-trimethylsilyl-3-trimethylsilyloxybutane was calculated using ab initio calculations performed at the HF/6-31G* level. 1-Trimethylsilyl-3-trimethylsilyloxybutane was lower in energy, presumably for steric reasons.
