title: The [1,5]-Brook rearrangement: an initial application in anion relay chemistry.
abstract: The [1,5]-Brook rearrangement proceeds efficiently in a series of hydroxyl dithiane substrates with sodium and potassium bases; less effective are lithium bases. That the mode of silyl migration is intramolecular was demonstrated by a crossover experiment. Finally, the tricomponent anion relay chemistry (ARC) coupling tactic was demonstrated employing the [1,5]-Brook rearrangement.
