Abstract
The two electrophilic Vilsmeier-Haack complexes POCl3·DMF 1 and (CF3SO2)2O·DMF 2 react with C2-symmetrical dialkoxysilanes R1O-Si(R2)2-OR1 (R1=(-)-menthyl or 3β-cholesteryl, R2=Me, Ph or i-Pr: 5a-c/6a-c) affording the formates R1-OCHO 7 and 8 in medium to good yields depending on conditions. The scope and limitations of this novel one-step deprotection of C2-symmetrical silaketals to formates are described.
