Trityl Antimonate-Catalyzed Sequential Reactions of Epoxides with Silylated Nucleophiles. Rearrangement of Epoxides and C–C or C–O Bond Forming Nucleophilic Reaction onto the Intermediate Carbonyl Compounds

In the presence of a catalytic amount of trityl hexafluoroantimonate, sequential reactions of epoxides with silylated nucleophiles, rearrangement of epoxides and C–C or C–O bond forming nucleophilic reaction onto the intermediate carbonyl compounds, proceed smoothly to afford the corresponding products in fairly good yields by one-pot procedure. Trityl hexafluoroantimonate (5 mol %) efficiently promotes the above plural sequential reactions.
