title: Hosomi-Sakurai reactions of silacyclic allyl silanes.
abstract: Substituted silacyclohexenes, generated through silene-diene [4 + 2] cycloaddition reactions, undergo Lewis acid promoted Sakurai type reactions with acetals to afford, following oxidation of the resultant fluorosilane, 1,4-diols with four contiguous chiral centres.
