title: Novel transformations of gamma-silyl nitro compounds.
abstract: Introduction of a gamma-silyl group into nitro compounds of dihydrobenzofuran, dihydrobenzo[b]thiophene, and dihydrofuran allowed new transformations to take place in the presence of a Lewis acid to give the corresponding alpha,beta-unsaturated oximes or multisubstituted dihydrofurans, respectively, in good to excellent yields.[reaction: see text]
