title: R3Al-R'3SiOTf: novel and powerful reagent system for stereospecific alkylation-silylation reactions of epoxides.
abstract: [reaction: see text] A novel and powerful reagent system R(3)Al-R'(3)SiOTf for the one-pot alkylation-silylation reaction of epoxides was discovered, and the reactions of various epoxides with the new reagent system have been demonstrated to occur stereospecifically giving rise to the corresponding alkylation-silylation products in excellent yields.
