title: Gamma-p-toluenesulfonyl-alpha,beta-epoxysilane: a new and practical acrolein beta-anion equivalent.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Reaction of gamma-p-toluenesulfonyl-alpha,beta-epoxysilane with alkyl halides and aldehydes followed by treatment with n-Bu4NF affords alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes via a Brook rearrangement-mediated tandem process under extremely mild conditions.
