45. A gram-scale reaction of (E)-1 a-[OSi] with EtMe2SiH (1.1 equiv) in the presence of B(C6F5)3 (0.1 mol %) produced 3 a with 83 % yield of isolated product (1.38 g) with >95 % of syn-selectivity within 0.5 h at 23 °C (see the Supporting Information).
46. The use of PhSiH3 as a reductant instead of EtMe2SiH in the cyclobutanation of free homoallylic alcohols led to slightly better yields and syn-selectivity (see the Supporting Information).
